Franz West-Style Iron Chain + Marble Desk / Console Table
About the Item
Iron chain base console table with marble top; intermittent use as a desk would be possible with appropriately sized chair. Circa 1960s, in a style popularized by the designs of Franz West. A few niks to base and age appropriate, light scuffing and surface wear to marble.
This stylish and edgy piece features a rare-to-market chain motif base with an antique marble top in an uncommon, stunningly veined and rich color that is not often seen, especially on this base.
"Widely regarded as the preeminent European artist of his generation, Franz West (Austria, 1947-2012) is known for his willfully unserious, non-ideological and sometimes mischievous drawings, sculptures and furniture. Replete with contradictions, West's work is often joyful, silly, erotic while being tinged with vulnerability and an undercurrent of existential nihilism. It concerns itself with both deep philosophical pursuits and the basest of human desires: laziness, drunkenness and sexual desire.” Many of West's sculptures appear as furniture but furniture is really a backdrop for West's ideas about culture, materialism and objects place in the world of man or man's place in the world of objects. West intended his sculptures/furniture "to appear to have practical function" but in reality he is adopting the world and bringing it into the realm of art. His chain link sculptures/ floor lamps are engaging, thought provoking excursions into the modern Industrial / post Industrial/ pre-digital age that illuminate human progress and/or the lack thereof.
