"Diter Rot's unique talents suggested, when the idea of devoting a Copley monograph to his work was first discussed, that the Rot book could be art, in his terms, rather than a critical evaluation and survey of past achievements. His reaction to our proposal is this assemblage of printed matter. Its pages are a kind of visual diary squirted out druing three years of spasmodic labor in fulfuilment of a scheme outlined in a letter dated 19 July 62 which prefaces the book."--Richard Hamilton, introductory pamphlet.
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...

Dieter Roth not only made a significant contribution to the art history of the 20th century with his radical use of organic materials, but was also active as a writer. This charming and personal book offers an intimate view of the artist, who died in 1998. In addition to the foreword by Björn Roth, Dieter Roth's son, it features numerous previously unpublished photos and documents from the artist's long friendship with graphic designer Beat Keusch and painter Erika Streit. In four episodes, the book introduces us to Dieter Roth's most important works and favorite places: from the Schimmelmuseum in Hamburg, the Roth-Raum in Basel, to Iceland and the Basel restaurant Chez Donati - unique insights into the life and work of the great artist. DIETER ROTH (1930-1998) made transience tangible in his art. Since the 1960s, he created works from chocolate and wrote concrete poetry. Roth participated several times in the documenta in Kassel and designed the Swiss pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia in 1982. Born in Hanover, he lived in Austria, Iceland, the USA and Switzerland.
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.

Included are conversations with Hamilton and the very intimate interview Roth conduc...
