“Throughout his career, German-Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930 – 98) worked with obsessive energy, his prolific output comprising installation, sculpture, drawing, video, assemblages and books. A highly influential figure to artists both of his generation and ones which followed, much of Roth’s work can be seen as a diary of sorts – a record of his relentless and impassioned engagement with life.”

I’m saddened to see not much of
Gunter Brus’s drawings have made their way here. I highly recommend looking into Viennese Actionism of the 20th-century, it’s fascinating. Or looking at “Gunter Brus: Nervous Stillness on the Horizon”.
