Dieter Roth (1930-1998) was an artist of astonishing breadth and
diversity, producing graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures,
assemblages, and installation works involving sound recordings and
video. He was also a composer, musician, poet, and writer. Roth was
particularly noted for his influential artist's books, including
Literaturwurst (1961-74), a series of books made using traditional
sausage recipes but replacing the sausage meat with pages torn from
other publications. Roth kept diaries and notebooks throughout his
life, using and reusing them in his art and writing. The idea of
keeping a diary-finding a way to record the passing of time and
document his life-is a fundamental theme of his artwork.
Illustrations of pages from Roth's diaries and copybooks of his
major works, including A Diary (1982), Flat Waste (1975), Solo
Scenes (1997-98), and Bar II (1983-97), accompany art historical
assessments by contemporary scholars and contributions from his
peer Jan Vos and his son Bjoern Roth. Distributed for The
