Franz West \u2013 Outdoor sculptures<\/strong><\/a>
\nMarais district, Paris (France)
\nThrough December 10th<\/sup>, 2018
\nThe fantastic retrospective on Austrian artist Franz West (who passed away in 2012), presented by the Pompidou Center in Paris since the beginning of September, is making its way out of the museum. A selection of some of his monumental outdoor works have taken over the Marais in several of the neighborhood\u2019s museums and institutions. Kugel<\/em> (2006), a spherical aluminum sculpture, is installed in the garden of the Picasso Museum, while the\u00a0Cognac-Jay Museum hosts in its courtyard Ohne Titel<\/em> (2008-2009), a late work that synthesizes Franz West\u2019s plastic research on shapes as well as on materials, surfaces and colors. As for Omega<\/em> (2008) and Meeting Point<\/em> (2010), two gigantic monochrome \u201csausages\u201d, a white one and the other green, they are displayed in the courtyard of the Historical Library of Paris in the h\u00f4tel Lamoignon. Finally, a fifth monumental sculpture by Franz West is installed in the main lobby of the Pompidou Center.<\/p>\n
