Roth
Time: A Dieter Roth Retrospective is the first comprehensive
museum overview of the work of Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930–1998),
one of the most influential European artists of the postwar period.
This full-scale retrospective includes nearly 350 works, showcasing
five decades of work and the full range of Roth’s creative
activities—drawings, graphics, books, paintings, sculptural
objects, installations, and film and video works. Roth Time,
presented at both MoMA QNS and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, reflects
the vast formal, conceptual, and poetic scope of Roth’s oeuvre
as well as his use of diverse media. The exhibition presents Roth’s
work as an innovative, inspired, chaotic, and lucid whole, mirroring
both an individual and an epoch.
The
exhibition is organized by Schaulager Basel in collaboration with
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Museum Ludwig, Cologne.
The
exhibition is made possible by Schaulager Basel and the Laurenz
Foundation. Additional generous support is provided by Kathleen
and Richard Fuld, Novartis, and The Contemporary Arts Council of
The Museum of Modern Art. The Museum also acknowledges the assistance
of Mimi and Peter Haas, Pro Helvetia, and The International Council
of The Museum of Modern Art. The accompanying educational programs
are made possible by BNP Paribas. The installations at P.S.1 are
supported by James Family Foundation.
