Franz West : to build a house you start with the roof

Description

Tent. Baltimore, The Baltimore Museum of Art, 12-10-2008, 04-01-2009. - Monografie toont werk van de Oostenrijkse kunstenaar Franz West in de periode 1972-2008. - There is no easy way to define Franz West's art: it is fundamentally sculptural in its construction, veers frequently toward the biomorphic and prosthetic, mines the intellectualism of Freud and Wittgenstein, and possesses an awkward beauty that speaks with equal fluency to the tradition of painterly abstraction and the aesthetics of trash art. West's distinctive vision has resulted in one of the most remarkable bodies of work produced since the 1960s.
