The catalog to the third solo exhibition by the internationally acclaimed Austrian artist Franz West (°1947, Vienna - 2012, Vienna) at Tim Van Laere Gallery. West is without doubt one of the most important sculptors and environment artists of contemporary art. His oeuvre is characterized not only by the forms he invents, but also for the communicative quality with which he directly addresses the viewer, urging him/ her to participate. The exhibition brings together various aspects from the broad oeuvre of Franz West. Both collages, sculptures from papier-mâché, plaster and polyester, furniture, an outdoor sculpture in aluminium and installations from different periods of his career are shown. Exhibition: Tim van Laere Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (07.12.2017-20.01.2018).
