Incontro con Franz West + Werkstatt

This fourth issue of the Fama & Fortune Bulletin, edited by Franz West, represents a key example of his explorations in artist-led publishing.

The magazine was conceived as a performative space: West controlled the visual and textual content, integrating his signature sensibility toward form and material. Conceived within the Vienna art context of 1990, the work responds to West’s broader practice—melding sculpture, installation, graphic design, and conceptual humour. Like the series as a whole, his involvement blurred boundaries between publication, artwork, and exhibition. All early Bulletins (1990–1999) were limited-edition artist’s magazines.
