Additionally, West creates colorful, upholstered furniture. He often crafts chairs and couches by welding together pieces of scrap metal, a technique that reflects his interest in collage. West garnered a larger audience in the mid-1980s, when he began producing furniture. ![]() West, whose art is influenced by his interest in psychoanalytic texts, describes his Adaptives as prostheses, a term that alludes to their incomplete status as well as their connection to the body. The sculptures known as Adaptives, which he began creating during the 1970s, are considered his first significant works as humorously indeterminate objects, they are both artful sculptures and tactile gadgets, with their artistic function considered complete only once viewers have touched or played with them. ![]() Guggenheim Museum, New York (2013, traveled to the Art Institute of Chicago).Franz West (Austrian, 1947–2012) is a sculptor and installation artist born in Vienna, Austria, where he studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste.

Wool’s work has been exhibited extensively around the world in many solo and group exhibitions. He studied at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, New York, and the New York Studio School. His paintings can therefore be defined as much by what they are not and what they hold back as what they are. Through these various procedures of application and cancellation, Wool obscures the liminal traces of previous elements, putting reproduction and negation to generative use in forming a new chapter in contemporary painting. ![]() Only ghosts and impediments to the field of vision remain, each fixed in its individual temporality. By painting layer upon layer of whites and off-whites over screen-printed elements used in previous works-monochrome forms taken from reproductions, enlargements of details of photographs, screens, and Polaroids of his own paintings-he accretes the surface of his pressurized paintings while apparently voiding their very substance. Christopher Wool is best known for his paintings of large, black, stenciled letters on white canvases, but he possesses a wide range of styles using a combined array of painterly techniques, including spray painting, hand painting, and screen-printing, he provides tension between painting and erasing, gesture and removal, depth and flatness.
