White Elephant is the bilingual catalogue (Spanish/English) of the Franz West exhibition at the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, and includes some works never presented before. The works show the relation of West's production with people, playing with the implications of museum display, whose power lies in the transformation of what museums contain into cult objects. The volume includes sculptures, collages, furniture, and "adaptives," permitting a wide-ranging approach to this international figure who has played an important role in the contemporary art world since 1965, with his challenge to viewers' notions of objects, beauty and ugliness, art, and life.
