Wielded iron, electrical fittings - Designed in 1989 and manufactured in Italy by Meta-Memphis. // Privat-Lampe des Künstlers II by Franz West is a 1989 sculptural lamp that exemplifies West's playful and unconventional approach to functional objects. Crafted from welded iron, the lamp’s design features a tall, slender chain that extends upwards in an irregular, almost organic form, ultimately holding a lightbulb at its peak. The base of the sculpture is a tangled, coiled foundation that seems both chaotic and stable, providing a grounding counterbalance to the lamp’s tall, sinuous line. This piece, produced in collaboration with Meta-Memphis, blurs the boundaries between art and utility, transforming a simple lamp into an expressive, sculptural form. The minimalist yet rugged aesthetic invites viewers to rethink everyday objects, challenging traditional ideas of beauty and function in design.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
