Franz West — Nacktstuhl
Franz West

Nacktstuhl

A metal and wood chair serves as the foundation for Franz West's *Nacktstuhl*, its utilitarian form transformed by the addition of rough, tactile plaster applied to a Masonite surface. West's characteristic blending of everyday functional objects with sculptural intervention challenges the boundary between art and the mundane. The raw, unrefined quality of the plaster contrasts with the manufactured geometry of the chair, inviting both physical and conceptual engagement from the viewer.
