CURATOR’S TALK: FRANZ WEST WHERE IS MY EIGHT?
THURSDAY 21 AUG, 7 – 8PM, £5 (£4)
This summer The Hepworth Wakefield is dedicating its gallery spaces to a large-scale exhibition of one of the most prominent artists of our time. Franz West, who died in July 2012, achieved worldwide fame with his Passstücke [Adaptives], as well as his sculptures for interior and exterior spaces.
Mumok's Eva Badura-Triska, curator of Franz West: Where is my Eight? will discuss West’s work, her collaboration with The Hepworth Wakefield and the connections and parallels between the work of West and Barbara Hepworth.
Eva Badura-Triska studied art history and classical archaeology in Vienna and London. Since 1979, she has been a curator at mumok and from 1999 onwards has been general secretary of the Franz West Archive. She organised the first West retrospective at mumok in 1996.
Franz West: Where is my Eight? is conceived by mumok and developed in partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield. Supported by The Henry Moore Foundation, Crown Fine Art & Austrian Cultural Forum London.
