Sculptor, painter, printmaker, collagist, poet, diarist, graphic designer, publisher, filmmaker and musician, German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930 β 1998) has been described as βa performance artist in all the mediums he touchedβ. Everything Roth made involved acting out a central concept of art and life as utterly indivisible β a single enterprise in which material stuff is subservient to the emotional and sensual experience for which it stands. Hauser & Wirth will open βDieter Roth. BjΓΆrn Rothβ, a landmark exhibition of masterworks that highlights this remarkable twenty-year collaboration and, through it, the diversity of the practice that has established Dieter Roth as one of the most inventive and influential artists of the second half of the 20th century. βDieter Roth. BjΓΆrn Rothβ culminates Hauser & Wirthβs 20th anniversary and inaugurates the opening of the galleryβs new, second exhibition space in New York City, at 511 West 18th Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. Moreover, the exhibition sets the stage for major exhibitions to be presented at 18th Street in 2013 by three artists β Paul McCarthy, Roni Horn and Matthew Day Jackson β who claim Roth as their touchstone.
