The artwork titled “Garden Sculpture,” created by Dieter Roth in 1996, belongs to the art movements of Neo-Dada and Post-Minimalism. It is a genre of installation art, demonstrating a complex assembly of various materials meticulously arranged within an enclosed space.
In the artwork, multiple interconnected structures made from an assortment of materials such as wood, metal, and glass dominate the setting. The installation features several elevated platforms and stairs, contributing to a multi-layered composition. The spaces beneath these platforms appear cluttered with various objects, including wheels and frames, adding to the chaotic yet organized nature of the piece. The use of everyday materials and the construction of a seemingly haphazard environment reflect the influences of both Neo-Dada and Post-Minimalism. The room is well-lit with modern lighting, which highlights the intricate details and textures of the installation, inviting viewers to explore and engage with the spatial dynamics of the artwork.
