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 Uncanny?
The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
