I needed an afternoon to myself. So, I stopped what I was doing Friday, grabbed a coffee at my favorite café, then I wandered into Monograph Bookwerks – a beautifully curated shop in the northeast ‘hood of Portland. And, I picked up this book…

During the 1970s, Dieter Roth published a series of ads in a Swiss newspaper. The content of this series – disturbing, poetic and aggressive. This is the first complete publication of Roth’s ads, previously only published as artist’s books.
