Stundenbilder (Hourly Photographs), 1977
11692-BK

4 x 6 in. (10.2 x 15.2 cm)

16 leather bound books containing a total of 305 signed photographs with hand written time stamping.
On January 1, 1977, at 1:00 a.m. in Chicago, Roth devised an ambitious photo project for which he planned to take one photograph every hour, 24 hours a day, for 365 days of a year: every hour a shot of what simply lay in front of him at that particular moment. Although he abandoned this idea in March he self-published a set of 16 books in readymade bindings in a small edition of 3 which documents the idea. It is one of the key works of conceptual artists’ books of its time and is a testament to how far ahead of his time Roth's ideas really were. A prescient precursor of Instagram!

Gewürtzfenster Spicewindow, 1971

61 3/4 x 30 3/4 x 2 3/4 in. (157 x 78 x 7 cm)

The work consists of five individual windows mounted side by side in a wooden frame, each hinged allowing both sides to be seen. The upper surface of each frame is fitted with a metal handle which can be opened and were used to fill the frames with spices or to smell them more intensly. Each of the five frames contains a variety of spices in ever-different layers, although in some cases a whole window is filled only with one spice. They produce a structure reminiscent of the strata of the earth, or of overlapping landscapes extending into the distance.

7 7/8 x 8 1/4 in. (20 x 21 cm)

Artist's book, published in an edition of approximately 150 copies. Monotype lettersets allowed Roth to orient single typographic elements in any direction, and to exercise an interest in mirroring and symmetry by using the characters d, b, p, and q to make inverse and reverse versions of themselves. In "bok 1956-1959", language becomes divorced from meaning, and its parts become abstract compositional elements, selected for aesthetic rather than linguistic value.

Founded in 1959 by the artist Daniel Spoerri, the goal of Editions MAT was to produce original objects in a series as cheaply as possible. All works were proposed in an edition of 100 and all were priced the same at 20,000 French francs (about $400 today). Contributing artists were Yaacov Agam, Pol Bury, Marcel Duchamp, Bruno Munari, Dieter Roth, Jésus Rafael Soto, Jean Tinguely, and Victor Vasarely. The idea was not to make reproductions in the usual sense, but to make multiple originals, mainly kinetic objects, often encouraging the viewer’s intervention.



This is the catalogue from first exhibition of Edition MAT, which took place November 27–December 19, 1959 at the Galerie Edouard Loeb in the Rue de Rennes in Paris.

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.
