// 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.
