FRANZ WEST
Ironic, irreverent, yet profoundly philosophical – Franz West brought a punk aesthetic into the pristine spaces of art galleries.

This major retrospective celebrates West's playful approach to materials, colour and form. It brings together rarely seen pieces from across his remarkable career, including abstract sculptures, furniture, collages and monumental outdoor works.
