Sculptor, poet, diarist, graphic designer, pioneer artist's book maker, performer, publisher, musician, and, most of all, provocateur, Dieter Roth has long been beloved as an artist's artist. Known for his mistrust of all art institutions and commercial galleries--he once referred to museums as funeral homes--he was also known for his generosity to friends, his collaborative spirit, and for including his family in his art making. Much to the frustration of any gallery that tried to exhibit his work (supposedly none more than once), Roth thumbed his nose at those who valued high purpose and permanence in art. Constantly trying to undo his art education, he would set up systems that discourage...
Interviews with the people who worked with Roth during the artist's time spent in Chicago, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.Dieter Roth (1930-1998) was one of the most innovative and challenging artists of the twentieth century. During preparations for a recent retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, it became clear that America played a crucial role in Roth's artistic development. In Philadelphia he and his students experimented with new graphic and photographic techniques, which resulted in SNOW, a major work now owned by MoMA. It was in Providence that he had his first large studio, and the work made there is pivotal in the development of Roth's oeuvre, including his paintings and prints that incorporated perishable foodstuffs. In Los Angeles, Roth made his famous Steeple Chase (A Race) exhibition, using suitcases filled with different cheeses. Many of the works Roth created during that period are illustrated here in full color. 780 color illustrations.

Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme au Frac Bretagne, Rennes, de décembre 2013 à mars 2014.00Tout au long d'une oeuvre fondamentalement en mouvement, Dieter Roth, ayant vécu toute sa vie entre plusieurs pays, en particulier l'Allemagne, la Suisse et l'Islande, a mis en place des modes opératoires destinés à générer des formes. Dans les années 1950 et 1960, après une formation en Suisse marquée par l'art concret, il développe un travail géométrique d'inspiration constructiviste et typographique. Parallèlement, on assiste chez lui à la destruction de toute tentative formelle. Dans les années 1960, il réalise sa première " île ", amas de matières informes vouées à se dégrader avec le temps, inaugurant une dynamique de construction-destruction récurrente.
