WOLF VOSTELL - De/Collage LP [Fluxus] @190 VBR - Multhipla, Italy, 1980(?)


Wolf Vostell (October 14, 1932 - 3 April 1998) was an important German artist after the Second World War. He was born in Leverkusen, Germany and died in 1998 in Berlin.


In 1959 he incorporated a television set into one of his works, Deutscher Ausblick (1959), which is part of the collection of the Museum Berlinische Galerie in Berlin. He was one of the pioneers of video art and the Happening and the Fluxus movement.

Vostell showed his environment "6 TV dé-coll/age" for the first time in 1963 in New York City. He is also famous for converting big American cars into sculptures of modern art such as Concrete Traffic (Chicago, USA), Ruhender Verkehr (Cologne, Germany), Beton-Cadillacs (Berlin) or VOAEX (Spain).

This LP generally sells for more than $500 whenever it turns up on eBay.
