Dieter Roth

Lavishly illustrated catalog for the exhibition “Dieter Roth: Printed Pressed Bound” at the Galleries at Moore, May 26–July 31, 1986. Organized from the Albertina Graphic Collection in Vienna by guest curator Felicitas Thun. Includes “My Eye Is a Mouth” by Felicitas Thun, “Was That Something—On the Poetry of Dieter Roth” by Ferdinand Schmatz, and “Conversation with Dieter Roth, Basel, February 1998” by Felicitas Thun.

The catalog strongly supports the ongoing reassessment of this protean talent as a forerunner of today's process- and materials-oriented artists. With examples of work from each of Roth's many phases: drawings, graphic works, assemblages, and books (including early work with links to Constructivism), as well as Literwurst, Hegel's 20-volume oeuvre, ground up and stuffed into sausage skins, “Dieter Roth: Printed Pressed Bound” highlights a particularly arresting body of work by this singular artist-provocateur, who died in June 1998.

The exhibition and catalog were organized by the Albertina Museum in Vienna from their own collection, the objects brought together over the years by Roth's close friend Kurt Kalb. Guest curator Feliticas Thun worked with Roth and interviewed him—shortly before his death—for the catalog. The exhibition was seen in the United States only at Moore
