After an apprenticeship as photo-lithographer Wolf Vostell studied at the Wuppertal "Werkkunstschule" from 1954 to 1955. He traveled extensively, and in 1954 Paris developed the concept of décollage* made from torn billboards, which subsequently also determined his later oeuvre*.
After further studies at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts* and a disappointing return to the Düsseldorf Academy*, the artist decided in 1958 that art must take place in the street and integrated the audience in hi (showing 500 of 1592 characters). |
