Franz West

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Inspired by the Viennese Actionism movement, Franz West was an artist who was acclaimed for his interactive works that encompassed sculpture and installation among other practices. His earliest works employed unorthodox materials combined with everyday objects to create such pieces as a coke bottle wrapped in gauze or large-scale aluminium sculptures, welded to resemble sausage-like forms.

« Sculpture is more about three-dimensionality than painting, and gets you away from the picture surface. »
Franz West

Among his most notable works is his Adaptives series, a number of plaster objects designed to be worn across the face or around the waist; despite recalling theatrical props and masks, most of these objects are ambiguous.

« The perception of art takes place through the pressure points that develop
when you lie in it. »
Franz West

West was also celebrated for his collages that consisted of over-painted media, including advertisements and newspaper clippings, as well as his work with materials such as papier-mache and foam to create sculptures bearing the influence of Expressionism.

Understanding Conceptual Art and how to appraise it

Artwork by Willem de Kooning

What is Gestural?

Gestural is a term which describes painting with freely sweeping brush strokes. The main goal of gestural art was to allow the artist to physically portray emotional impulses. Viewers were thought to understand inner artistic thoughts revealed through the varied, yet expressive paint marks.
