Two works: Onkel Stuhl (Uncle Chair)
2003
Two works from Franz West's *Onkel Stuhl (Uncle Chair)* series present functional sculptures that blur the boundary between art object and everyday furniture. Woven synthetic textile is stretched over steel tubular frames, giving the works a tactile, almost domestic quality while retaining the artist's characteristic sense of humor and bodily engagement. West's deliberate use of modest, utilitarian materials invites the viewer to interact physically with the pieces, challenging traditional notions of how sculpture is experienced.
