Franz West (1947 – 2012) was a modern master of the late 20th Century, best known for his interactive installations that blurred the lines between art and the outside world. His artmaking often involved audience participation, chance, and multiple interpretations. West believed in the power of connection and community, challenging traditional notions of authorship. Ines Turian, the Managing Director of Franz West Werknutzungsgesellschaft, will guide the tour. Turian worked closely with Franz West from 1997 to 2012 and has edited important publications on the artist. She studied Art History in Vienna and Frankfurt/Main.
