About the Item

Very famous light!!! Franz West’s provocative, boundary-pushing sculptures, lighting and furniture completely changes the way that art audiences interact with art that merges into functional objects. Inspired by the Viennese Action/Performance artists of the 1960s and ’70s, West conjured up pieces that encourage audience engagement and expand viewer expectations. In this case, we are presented w/ a metal lamp fabricated of welded iron chain, mild hoaring evident from welding process, otherwise completed with a blackened iron finish. The light bulb and socket are left raw and unadorned on purpose. The artist died in Vienna on 26 July 2012 at age 65, after exhibiting in internationally renowned museums and galleries for over three decades. His influential oeuvre was in major expositions such as Documenta (Kassel, Germany), Art Basel (Basel / Miami) and the Venice Biennale, where he was awarded the Lion d’Or (Golden Lion) for lifetime achievements.
