This is the first volume in a series of three on the work of Roth. It is divided into four sections. The first consists of Laslo Glozer's essay " Leaving to Depart - Dieter Roth: the nomad in His Time" links the artist's life and art. Part two shows the progression of Roth's unique pieces from 1950 to 1998. In part three, curator Dirk Dobke focuses on Roth's friendship and collaboration with Phillip Buse and part four contains the catalogue of the Dieter Roth Foundation. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
