Dieter Roth is known for his artist’s books, speedy drawings, sculptures and installations. He was an extreme example of a Fluxus artist using found materials, including rotting food, melt chocolate and, like in this multiple, animal droppings. He once said: ‘Wait, later this will be nothing’. He is known as Dieter Roth and Diter Rot.

“Exceedingly rare complete set of original postcards, published by Klaus Staeck in response to the controversial 4th Documenta show in Kassel in 1968. Each of the postcards is classified as an ‘Originalgrafik’, and this set includes Joseph Beuys’ very first artist postcard. This set is special in the fact that every one of the postcards is individually signed by the respective artist. It is not known how many signed sets were ever issued, but it is probable that not more than ten such sets exist. Each postcard’s image is inspired by the Museum Fridericianum in Kassel. List of the postcards: Nr.1 Joseph Beuys – Friedrichsplatz (documenta IV) – signed in pencil. [Ref. Schellmann, Joseph Beuys – The Multiples, P1, page 410]. Nr.2 Gabor Altorjay – Kassel – documenta IV – 1968 – offset – signed in pencil Nr.3 Gabor Altorjay – Kassel – documenta IV – 1968 – offset – signed in pencil Nr.4 Karl Heinz Krull – Friedrichsplatz – 1968 – offset – signed and dated 68 in pencil Nr.5 Dieter Rot – Rathaus – 1968 – offset – signed with initials and dated 68 in pencil Nr.6 Klaus Staeck – Museum Fridericianum – 1968 – woodcut – signed and dated in pencil Nr.7 Wolf Vostell – Multimedia Environment – Kassel 1968 – signed in pen Nr.8 Nikolaus Jungwirth – Museum Fridericianum – 1968 – offset – signed in pencil Nr.9 KP Brehmer – Museum Fridericianum – 1968 – offset – signed in pencil on reverse. This postcard also has Brehmer’s postage stamp which he designed for Documenta.”
