book t1, 1959 facsimile, 2022
13243-BK

8 5/8 x 8 5/8 in. (22 x 22 cm)

Roth’s serial project Book (1958-64) is comprised of over 30 interactive works that exemplify the precision of concrete aesthetics. Book t1 is one of the first created for this series, constructed of twenty-five sheets with hand-cut slots cut at angles. Each loose sheet is 19x19 cm. Fifteen of these are thick, transparent Mylar in red, blue, and yellow, and ten are heavy white stock. The original work is housed in a custom black case with author and title typed on the spine in black and red. The title page includes the artist’s signature, fingerprint, and date (October, 1959). This facsimile edition holds true to the original—hand-crafted in an edition of only 30 housed in a slipcase. Book t1’s greatest intrigue is a singular experience created through the actions it invites: opening, touching, looking, flipping, layering, rotating, manipulating, arranging. Countless playful compositions are created by handling the work. Materiality and empty space serve as the content, and the reader creates dynamic activity between these. Elements confined to one page synthesize with individual elements, not only on the next page, but with several subsequent pages simultaneously. The resultant effect of handing Book t1 underscores the conceptual notion that reading should not be a passive act, but rather a creative one.

Dieter Roth
Spirale 1 - 9, 1953-64
2339

Probably the most significant document recording Swiss art - especially abstract and Concrete art - in the 1950s and early ’60s, Spirale was the handiwork of Dieter Roth and edited by him with artist Marcel Wyss and Concrete poet Eugen Gomringer (who became recognized for his ‘constellations’ and one-word poems). Their objective recalled the best intentions of magazines from 20 and 30 years earlier to publish a magazine that would ‘embrace poetry, the plastic arts, graphics, architecture and industrial design’. Conceived in 1951, the magazine did not start publishing until 1953. At the same time, and over the course of the life of the magazine, Roth was involved in up to six other independent publishing projects. Although the design and illustrations for the magazine indicate Roth’s committed Constructivist phase, when it folded after nine issues in 1964, he shifted gears from the ‘universal aesthetic language’ to the more ephemeral, personal works for which he may be best known, but Spirale set in motion his obsession with self-publishing, which was a source of the enormously popular trend for photocopied books and early ’zines in the 1970s. Roth’s contributions to the ‘conventions of the page [as] subject-matter [where] a turning page becomes a physical, sculptural element rather than an incidental activity’, set the precedent for future experiments in art magazine publishing that questioned and deconstructed the form of the ‘book’ and presaged a great era in self-publishing. Rare to find a complete set in such fine condition.
