Dé-Collage and Television: Wolf Vostell in New York, 1963-64

Abstract

The photographic essay features photo documentation by Peter Moore of three Wolf Vostell projects produced in New York during the period 1963-64. "Dé-collage and Television" focuses on Vostell’s use of dé-collage technique as a means to critique broadcast television. The projects represented are Vostell’s first one-artist show in New York at the Smolin Gallery and participation in the "Yam Festival of Happenings" at George Segal’s farm, both in 1963.
