Dieter Roth | Piccadilly Postcard Puzzle






Dieter Roth
Piccadilly Postcard Puzzle
London, UK: Edition Hansjörg Mayer, 2005
96 pp., 12 x 17 cm., boxed
Edition size unknown


A clamshell box containing reproductions of the 6 Piccadillies (see previous post), each one enlarged and cut into 16 postcard-size pieces which can be sent out individually and reassembled at random.

When Roth produced the first series, he imagined them being cut up into a "Giant Piccadilly Puzzle" with interchangeable elements. This work, produced by longtime friend and collaborator Hansjörg Mayer, completes the work as Roth intended.
