Few postwar artists blurred the boundaries between media as radically, or as playfully, as Dieter Roth. Born in 1930 in Hanover, Germany, and later working between Iceland, Switzerland, and Germany, Roth built a practice that defied categorization. Associated with the Fluxus movement but never confined by it, he worked across printmaking, sculpture, artist’s books, drawing, collage, and even edible materials like chocolate and cheese. Roth’s art is at once irreverent and deeply intellectual. He embraced process, decay, repetition, and chance, often allowing materials to deteriorate as part of the work itself. Yet alongside his more conceptual and sculptural experiments, works on paper remained central to his practice. These intimate compositions, layered, gestural, and richly textured, offer collectors a direct encounter with his restless, ...Read More
