Dieter Roth was one of the most influential artists of the post-World War II period. He produced a great variety of works in different artistic media, not only graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and books, but also installations, assemblages, audio, and media works. Roth is perhaps best known for his works made of organic materials, mostly biodegradable foodstuffs, including chocolate, cheese, and sugar. Additionally, his graphic works have been called some of the richest and most diverse ever to be produced by a single artist.
