Franz West. An Outdoor Sculpture<\/strong>
<\/span><\/p>\n

A group of sculptures was installed in front of the former studio on Esteplatz in Vienna’s third district in December 2022. The five untitled outdoor sculptures in different colors are made of epoxy resin and were placed by Heimo Zobernig. From 1996 to 2012, Franz West created several hundred such works, which represent an important part of his oeuvre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the choice of bright, strong colors, he deliberately contrasted the objects with nature and the urban space. […] The reactions tot he work are understood here as an integral part of the work itself. Later, Franz West was interested in the idea that an interaction with the viewer talks place on a mental level\u201d<\/em>, says Ines Turian in the publication.<\/p>\n

PRESS RELEASE
<\/strong>
Austrian Court Makes Final Ruling on Franz West Estate<\/strong>
“The court ruling recognizes the late artist\u2019s final wishes over the management of his estate”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the Austrian Supreme Court\u2019s recent ruling, the dispute surrounding the legendary Viennese artist\u2019s inheritance has at last been resolved. The ruling named Franz West\u2019s sister, who has since passed away, the rightful heir. During her lifetime she has reached an agreement for the transfer of her brother\u2019s artistic estate to the Franz West Privatstiftung (Franz West Private Foundation), which the artist had
established prior to his death to oversee the management and preservation of his works.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are extremely pleased with this outcome. Finally, we can take action to make Franz West\u2019s work visible again in the public realm, and to advocate for the significance of his artistic legacy. For us, this legal security provides the basis to do so. A number of questions remain to be resolved, but for now we are focusing on devising a forward-looking strategy to uphold West\u2019s legacy, in partnership with museums, galleries and collectors worldwide\u2019, says Roland Grassberger, nephew of the artist and board member of the Franz West Privatstiftung.<\/p>\n
