Sans titre (painted by Marcus Geiger)

1988

A sculptural work combining acrylic paint and papier mâché, this untitled piece reflects the collaborative spirit that defined much of Franz West's practice, here executed by fellow artist Marcus Geiger. The organic, irregular form embodies West's signature interest in the relationship between art objects and the human body, inviting a sense of tactile, physical engagement. The painted surface animates the raw, handmade quality of the papier mâché, merging painterly gesture with sculptural volume.

Medium
