Haus Lange Lampe Chandelier by Franz West  for MEMPHIS Srl

Franz West, 1991

Cast bronze suspension lamp / natural bronze patina.

Dimensions:

• Height: 59.84 inches
• Width: 70.87 inches

This raw, cast bronze object is as much a floating sculpture as it is a "chandelier". Hovering over a long dining table, it would evoke long philosophic conversations about the state of art objecthood.

Hardly a ready-made, it's dark moodiness relates to an unsettling sense of existential clarity.
