Following is The New York Times obituary of the artist:

"Franz West Is Dead at 65; Creator of an Art Universe"
by Roberta Smith, July 26, 2012

Franz West, an influential Austrian sculptor with a penchant for art objects that were willfully un-serious, non-ideological and accessible and were displayed in Central Park and on the plaza at Lincoln Center, as well as in international exhibitions and blue-chip galleries around the world, died on Wednesday in Vienna. He was 65.

His death was announced by the Franz West Foundation. He had been ill for some time.

Mr. West's work ranged from collages to furniture to large, colorful public sculptures. It consistently embodied a kind of friendly iconoclasm in which form and function were pitted against each other, and the notion of artwork as an autonomous object was frequently undermined. His homely, rough-surfaced materials, like plaster or papier-mâché, sometimes doused with color, challenged accepted taste.
