The show presents more than 100 objects created by the German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930 -- 1998) and his son Björn Roth, including works never before shown in the United States. Dieter Roth is known for his interdisciplinary oeuvre and his vision of art and life being indivisible. He was sculptor, painter, printmaker, collagist, poet, diarist, graphic designer, publisher, filmmaker, and musician. He used mediums such as fruit and chocolate, and collaborated intensively with other artists such as Richard Hamilton and Hermann Nitsch. Dieter Roth. Björn Roth inaugurates Hauser & Wirth's second exhibition space in New York City, at 511 West 18th Street.
