Kanye West is getting back to his art-purveying self. The artist has resurfaced publicly for the first time since being released from the hospital last week, turning up at an art installation at the Pacific Design Center. West checked out some pieces from “Rick Owen: Furniture” with Italian artist Giovanni Bassan, who posted a photo of the visit on Instagram. In it, Kanye is sporting a new blond ‘do. West’s outing is in line with Ryan Seacrest’s report that “things are going better” for the embattled star, who was first hospitalized in November. Kanye’s recovery, replete with a new throne of sorts, can be seen in full below.
