## Caption

Born in 1947, Austrian artist #FranzWest who belonged to the generation of artists exposed to Actionist and Performance Art of the 1960s and 70s. West instinctively rejected the traditionally passive nature of the relationship between artwork and viewer. West's artwork is typically made out of plaster, papier-mache, wire, polyester, aluminum and other, ordinary materials. He started to produce paintings, but then turned to collages, sculptures, portable sculptures called "Adaptives" or "Fitting Pieces", environment and furniture – "welded metal chairs and divans, some minimally padded and upholstered in raw linen." “Drawing Dialogues: Selections from the Sol LeWitt Collection” is an exhibition featuring over 100 works by more than 60 artists from the renowned artist’s extraordinary collection. On view Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thurs 12-8pm
