During the 1990s, Franz Wests work moved in new and innovative stylistic directions, as his career was solidified through important international exhibitions. This publication delves into this significant decade in an effort to contextualize the evolution of Wests singular practice.

The 1990s proved critical in the development of the idiosyncratic style for which West is still known today. His key innovations from this periodwhich included the addition of exuberant color to his papier-mâché forms, the incorporation of furniture both as art object and as social incubator, and the inclusion of work by other artists in his own installationsresulted in dynamic, frequently interactive installations that helped to expand the possibilities of sculpture and the ways in which art is experienced. Produced on the occasion of David Zwirners 2014 exhibition in New York, this fully illustrated publication gives an in-depth overview of the decade, arguably the most important of the artists lengthy career. It features essays by noted West scholars Eva Badura-Triska and Veit Loers, as well as a personal account by Bernhard Riff on video collaborations made with the artist throughout the 1990s.
