Vostell Automobile

Rate this book
Perhaps no single technology has defined the postwar world as much as the automobile. The automobile has shaped our physical landscape--our personal, geographical and atmospheric space--as well as our mental world. Since the 1960s, artist Wolf Vostell has been addressing the automobile--as design object, as modern icon, and as an invention capable of shaping and altering the world around it--in ''auto-sculptures'' and performances. Vostell--Automobile documents Vostell's career over the past 40 years, from his early, Pop-influenced work, to his auto-sculptures, auto-happenings and auto-installations, as well as object-pictures like Zyklus Mania and his Project for a new flag for the German Republic , a proposal for a new flag that would reflect the autmobilization and mechanization of modern life.
