Dieter Roth - lithograph

This lithograph by Dieter Roth is a powerful example of the artist’s innovative and often provocative approach to visual language. The work from 1981 reflects Roth’s characteristic fusion of drawing, printmaking, and introspection, where chaos and structure coexist in a raw, highly personal visual narrative. The imagery embodies Roth’s late-period printmaking practice, a phase in which he increasingly merged text, image, and autobiographical elements into singular works. The result is a visually arresting and conceptually layered composition that exemplifies Roth’s influence on post- war European conceptual and experimental art.

The lithograph is hand-signed and dated 1981 in pencil by Dieter Roth in the lower right and hand- numbered in pencil at the lower center. The title text appears at the lower center of the sheet. The work is documented in the catalogue raisonné by Dobke, number 450. Sheet size is approx. 75 × 63 cm.

Dieter Roth (1930-1998) was a Swiss-German artist, poet, and polymath who worked across a wide range of media including printmaking, sculpture, installation, artists books, and sound. Known for his radical materials (including biodegradable substances like chocolate and cheese), Roth blurred the boundaries between life and art. His work was deeply personal, often humorous and self-critical, and revolved around decay, transformation, and creative process. A pioneer of artists books and conceptual printing, Roth s work has influenced generations of contemporary artists. Works by Dieter Roth are held in major international collections.
