Gathering elements such as fittings, furniture, sculpture, videos and works on paper from all periods--and even works made by artist friends--into grand ensembles, the \u003ci\u003eKombi-Werke\u003c\/i\u003e are without doubt key elements in West's legacy. An example is the three-part papier-m ch  sculpture \"Redundanz\" its starting point is the gouache \"Lost Weight\" (1994), with its motif of a dieting woman showing her oversized pants. Omitting the \"W,\" West transforms \"Lost Weight\" into \"Lost Eight,\" in order to derive the title for a larger work, \"Where Is my Eight?\" With 250 color illustrations, this substantial and inspiring volume, and the exhibition it accompanies, were overseen by the artist himself, before his death in the summer of 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.2 x 9.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769740689696,"sku":"9783863352813","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d0726c70cb04b1922e95d1e6401c90c8.webp?v=1780355171","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/franz-west-where-is-my-eight-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
