Review
Art is Life/Life is Art: The Graphic Work of Dieter Roth is an exhibition catalog of books, prints and drawings from the collection of Ira G. Wool, the Universtiy of Iowa Libraries and Nolan/Eckman Gallery, New York, among others. With a perceptive essay by curator Kathleen A. Edwards entitled The Myth and the Mythmaker along with Buzz Spector's The Artist as Archivist, The Book as Body: Dieter Roth's Gesammelte Werke, who does an excellent reading of the 25 volumes of Roth's Completed Works, which never were completed, due to his untimely death in 1998. 65 objects are included in the checklist, beautiful black and white photographs enhance this important document. Although this is an exhibition catalog, this would be an important reference for the "reading" of Roth. -- umbrella, vol. 22, no. 4, Dec. 1999
