Wolf Vostell1 editions

Wolf Vostell was an artist with worldwide influence, due to the fact that he invented the term dé-coll/age; did happenings, actions, installations, and videos; and, as its co-founder, participated enthusiastically in the activities of Fluxus, which offered a critique of the fetishization of television and consumer culture. This book has been edited for the exhibition, held at MUSAC (León, Spain). The exhibition features a powerful selection of installations, paintings, sculptures, and films, among other varied art media used by Vostell, from the late 50s to 1998, as well as a selection from his rich archive of documentation related to many of his most important projects. For decades, Vostell used art as a means to interrogate artistic, cultural, and social identities, resulting in a rich, complex, and provocative body of work that has consistently challenged dominant political and artistic narratives.
