LACMA: Franz West

This show of Viennese artist Franz West displays his works from 1972 to 2008.



Very tall paper mache masks.




He created paper mache objects that he called "adaptives." They were meant to be handled and played with.



These heavy, golf club-like "adaptives" made you want to swing them against the walls.



Oversized lamps... they looked like light trapped in a block of ice.



Earlier collages



Franz West is at LACMA until June 7th, 2009.
