// Franz West's Privatlampe des Künstlers I (Private Lamp of the Artist I), created in 1989, is a striking sculptural piece made of metal. Measuring 250 cm in height, this work is both functional and artistic, embodying West's playful approach to everyday objects. The sculpture features a long, elegantly curved metal rod extending from a solid base, with a lightbulb affixed at its tip. The minimalist, almost whimsical design challenges traditional concepts of a lamp, transforming it into a delicate, elongated structure that reaches upward with a sense of grace and balance. This piece is part of a limited edition of 183, showcasing West’s unique ability to merge functionality with a sculptural aesthetic that invites viewers to reconsider the role of ordinary items in art.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
