Oyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples
Oyvind Fahlstrom: The Complete Multiples is a comprehensive survey of Fahlstrom's graphic work, including twenty-seven prints as well as four multiple editions in three-dimensional object and book format.
About the Artist
A multi-media artist, Oyvind Fahlstrom (1928-1976) produced works in film, performance, installation, sculpture, print, and painting. His influences were diverse, including the Dadaists and Surrealists, pre-Columbian manuscripts and modern Mexican art, john Cage, and underground American comic books. Using text and imagery to convey complex information about the world around him, Fahlstrom's work brings to life psychodramas that investigate the historical context of political, social, and economic concerns. Aesthetically, the interaction between artist, the art object and its viewer is explored through game-theory, maps, puzzles, performance, and installations.
