Yet another sculpture beautifies DOHA Corniche

Sculpture

Gekrose (2011), the biggest and most provocative contemporary art piece by late Austrian artist Franz West, has officially been inaugurated by Doha’s Theatre Park, bringing yet another world-class public art showcase to Qatar.

The larger-than-life piece is among the late Austrian artist Franz West’s largest works during his career.

The massive laquered aluminium sculpture is adorned in bright pink hues and constructed in a convoluted shape. Qatar Creates, in a social media post, described the artwork as an “intricate oversized piece takes up a myriad of shapes of textures, possibly evoking images of a prehistoric sea creature for one onlooker, while resembling a large-than-life representation of human intestines for another – among countless unique ways it can be seen and perceived.”
