Abstract mixed media sculpture. Signed Dieter Roth (1930-1998, German) on the bottom of the sculpture.10 x 10 x 16 cm (3.9 x 3.9 x 6.3 inches). Considered one of the most influential European artists of the post-war period, Dieter Roth produced artworks in a great range of media, from artist’s books, graphics, drawings, and sculptures, to assemblages and installations including sound, music, and video. In 1954 Roth started to make experimental works, including his first baked sculpture (a spiral made from bread dough), forays into Op art, and kinetic sculptures. In the ’60s he made pictures and objects that incorporated chocolate and other edible materials subject to decomposition—meditations on time, decay, and metamorphosis.
