Slice of salami on two cardboards in red and blue mounted together in plastic bag . - Signed, dated and numbered. - Edition Dieter Roth, Düsseldorf. - With traces of age due to material. - Dobke Druckgraphik 97 Dieter Roth’s Middle Sunset is an unconventional mixed-media print incorporating organic material—specifically, a slice of salami—mounted between two cardboard sheets, one red and one blue, sealed in a plastic bag. Measuring 70 x 50 cm, the work was created as part of an edition of 30, signed, dated, and numbered by the artist. Roth, known for his experimental approach to materials, frequently incorporated perishable items in his artworks, challenging traditional notions of permanence and decay in art. The salami, now aged and discolored, interacts with the surrounding materials, creating organic stains and marks that evolve over time. This ephemeral quality reinforces Roth’s conceptual exploration of transformation, decomposition, and the passage of time. Part of his Dobke Druckgraphik series, this piece exemplifies Roth’s radical approach to printmaking and mixed-media work, blurring the boundaries between fine art, process, and material experimentation.

What is Fluxus?
Derived from the Latin word meaning flow, Fluxus is an international movement of designers, composers, and artists known for blending various artistic disciplines and media during the 1960s. The movement remains active in visual art, performance, design, architecture, urban planning, and other creative fields. Fluxus is sometimes referred to as nter-media and continues to play a pivotal role in expanding the definitions of what art can be.
