Crasses et Voluptés

Dieter Roth
Literature Sausage

 Roth’s insistence on chance, his refusal to settle on any one style, as well as his embrace of constantly adding to his work are ways to keep the work alive, to attempt, in fact, to escape death. In an interview in Stuttgarter Nachrichten, Roth said: “Art is finished for me. Because it has nothing more to say, it can’t tell the truth. As soon as a drawing is hung on the wall it no longer has anything to say. It’s simply there for the eye to look at.” Process was life, product was death.
