ROTH BAR

First conceived by Dieter Roth in the early 1970s, ‘the bar’ is a dynamic and changing installation and is a continuing element in the Roths’ cross-generational practice.

The bar, comprised of scavenged materials, embodies a central motif found throughout Dieter Roth’s work. Both bar and studio were central concepts and locales for the work of Dieter Roth. Since its first iteration, the bar has gradually evolved, as for each exhibition site-specific materials have been incorporated into the installation.
