Dieter Roth (1930-1998) is regarded as one of the last century's most important all-around artists. His uncompromising approach to reality seems even more current than ever. In the sixties, his treatment of materials previously alien to art (such as food) and his unorthodox printing techniques rang in a new understanding of materials. He soon began a unique exploration of the notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk in sprawling assemblages and installations that consumed increasingly more space. Roth was at the center of a close-knit network of companions who not only took an active interest in his work, but who also became part of its genesis. This book presents evidence of these cooperative efforts, as well as gifts-many of which have a dedication or are labeled "souvenir"-to friends and fellow artists, such as Richard Hamilton and Martin Suter.

Condition: as new. [Herausgeber Beat Keusch unter mitarbeit von Björn Roth und Jan Voss]. Ostfildern : Hatje Cantz, 2011. Hardcover. 150 pp. color illustrations. 37 cm. German & English text. - Art polymath extraordinaire, Dieter Roth (1930-1998) maintained throughout his career an output so prodigious and various that art historians and fans are still struggling to keep up. Bringing innovations to media such as installation, sculpture, artist's books, jewelry and writing, Roth also traveled and collaborated extensively, becoming one of the postwar art scene's most visible personalities. Roth kept a close circle of artist friends with whom he collaborated, and to whom he made regular gifts of works that he named Souvenirs. These friends included Richard Hamilton, Dorothy Iannone, Hansj rg Mayer, Martin Suter and Jan Voss, and the gifts included works of mail art, which Roth would gleefully subject to the vicissitudes of the postal system ( Has it arrived yet? Voss recalls Roth asking him, of one such gift; Has it already been nicely destroyed? ). Dieter Roth: Souvenirs is the first presentation of these works. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9783775728188.
