Dieter Roth Biography

Hanover, 1930-Basel, 1998

A German master, Dieter Roth was originally trained as a graphic designer. He quickly showed interest in art and poetry, however, and flirted with both Op Art and cinematic art. His creations, resistant to precise classification, achieved popularity again in the 70s thanks to exhibitions like the one celebrated at ICA in London in 1971.

Roth frequently used perishable materials like chocolate, hummus, or excrement in his work. His well-known ?Sausages of Literature? series includes twenty pieces dedicated to the work of Hegel, a philosopher he particularly despised.
