Franz West / Possibilities

“Franz West's quality as a generous artist makes working with him unique. West draws from the possibilities inherent in sculpture, painting, video, film, music, photogra-phy, and book making; he creates solo pieces and collaborates with other artists; he is not afraid to adapt and to change existing works and is willing to explore installation possibilities. This generosity and oneness allows a curator and a viewer to think about art as a living process and not as the mere act of attributing, collecting, classifying, and evaluating. West's open mind also reinforces the exhibition format as a vital form in which to probe and experience an individual artist's body of work.” Extract from the preface
