He started to produce paintings, but then turned to collages, sculptures, portable sculptures called "Adaptives" or "Fitting Pieces", environments and furniture – "welded metal chairs and divans, some minimally padded and upholstered in raw linen." For his early sculptures, West often covered ordinary objects-bottles, machine parts, pieces of furniture and other, unidentifiable things-with gauze and plaster, producing "lumpy, grungy, dirty-white objects". West's artwork is typically made out of plaster, papier-mâché, wire, polyester, aluminium and other, ordinary materials. Over the last 20 years he had a regular presence in big expositions like Documenta and the Venice Biennale. His art practice started as a reaction to the Viennese Actionism movement has been exhibited in museums and galleries for more than three decades. West began making drawings around 1970 before moving on to painted collages incorporating magazine images that showed the influence of Pop Art. West did not begin to study art seriously until he was 26, when, between 19, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Bruno Gironcoli. His father was a coal dealer, his mother a dentist who took her son with her on art-viewing trips to Italy. West was born on 16 February 1947 in Vienna. He is best known for his unconventional objects and sculptures, installations and furniture work which often require an involvement of the audience.
