Parkett Vol. 70
Quote from Parkett
“You can’t catch up with things that are evident-beautiful, right, definitely compelling (as their defining opposites). It’s a matter of being ahead of calculation or design or definition by exactly that distance that establishes their usefulness.”
Franz West, interview with Bice Curiger Parkett No. 70, 2004

Artist Document
Franz West‘s shelf "2 x 20 Years of Parkett" (2004/Vol. 70 reflects the artist‘s core idea for many of his objects for daily life, as illustrated in the photo (see image below) showing West in his bedroom with a slightly larger version of a book shelf in the form and style of his edition for Parkett. West noted “I don’t construct things from out of the void and place them into the world. I face the world and I respond to its demands the best I can. That’s the way I work––not constructive but responsive, as they say.”
