Wolf Vostell Retrospective at artpress

A retrospective of Wolf Vostell's work is presented, highlighting his role as a Fluxus concert organizer and his radical media critique through television manipulation, which was pivotal for video art. Vostell employed drawing, painting, and objects, creating works through creation and borrowing, addition and erasure. His pieces, whether monumental or discreet, reflect an attention to the surrounding world and a meditation on history. Having lived in Berlin and Cáceres (Extremadura), he was influenced by these contrasting contexts. A great admirer of Goya, from 1976 he focused mainly on painting and drawing, while continuing happenings and experimentation. The retrospective features major works like Endogenous Depression and Fandango, with significant space for paintings and scores.
