The work of Dieter Roth (Swiss, b. Germany, 1930–1998) encompassed
everything from painting and sculpture to film and video, but it is
arguably through his editioned work—prints, books, and multiples—that he
made his most radical contributions. These experiments include the use
of organic materials in lieu of traditional mediums, including
book-sausages filled with ground paper in place of meat, and multiples
of plastic toys mired in melted chocolate, as well as a dazzling array
of variations on printed postcards. Wait, Later This Will Be Nothing: Dieter Roth Editions focuses
on Roth’s incredibly innovative and prolific period from 1960 to 1975.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is an expanded presentation of Snow (1963–69),
a Roth artist’s book in MoMA’s collection, featuring many more pages of
the book than have ever been exhibited. These pages contain a trove of
insightful information about the artist’s creative process and plans for
other works. A selection of handmade books, miniature volumes, and the
newly acquired Literaturwurst (1961–69), considered Roth’s most
radical experiment with the book format, will also be on view.
Beginning in the late 1960s, the artist began working with chocolate, a
material that became intimately associated with his work, as he explored
issues of decay and decomposition. Taken together, this selection of
works offers a radical view of mediums that are historically considered
staid and traditional, while giving insight into the work of one of the
artistic titans of the 20th century. The exhibition is organized by
Sarah Suzuki, Associate Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated
Books. The exhibition is
