Franz West's art is difficult to define. Fundamentally sculptural in its construction, it frequently veers towards the biomorphic and prosthetic, mining the ideas of Freud and Wittgenstein and possessing an awkward beauty that combines the tradition of painterly abstraction with the aesthetics of trash art. This book offers a comprehensive look at West's work from the 1970s up to the present. A blend of illustration, essays, interviews, and artist's pages, it accompanies a major retrospective organised by The Baltimore Museum of Art.
