Intended to be interacted with, West’s works redefine art as a social experience and ask how objects can function both as physical extensions of the body and as representations of the human experience. The exhibition takes as its point of departure Franz West’s (1947–2012) furniture and Passstücke (Adaptives).
This Is Not a Prop at david Zwirner in New York brought together a multigenerational group of artists whose work explores the liminal space between body and object.
