The installation consists of two towers--one made of chocolate busts, the other of sugar cast figures stacked on glass plates--reaching up toward the ceiling. This imposing yet fragile artwork was created during the period in which Roth incorporated biodegradable foodstuffs into his large-scale installations and sculptures, and was conceived as a work in progress.\u003cbr\u003eRoth left behind a veritable trove of visual documentation: more than 800 photographs and Polaroids, as well as over 120 hours of video recordings of the installation across the decades and its two studio locations. This large-format catalog\/artist's book, measuring 16.75 inches in height, presents the whole selection of these images in a concept curated by artist Peter Fischli, along with new essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurenz Foundation, Schaulager\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906315157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.70h x 11.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Dieter Roth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361581564085,"sku":"9783906315157","price":50.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_64ab810f-7e4c-45a0-9e78-882ca59a0b8c.jpg?v=1701192518","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dieter-roth-self-tower-lion-tower-9783906315157","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
