Vostell Concrete 1969–1973

In Case You Missed the Exhibit that Ran January 17—June 11, 2017, in Chicago:

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Fluxus co-founder Wolf Vostell (1932–1998) used concrete as an actual material and an artistic motif in a surprising, unique body of work that included Concrete Traffic, a Cadillac encased in concrete that was parked in a garage adjacent to the Smart Museum of Art.

Presented as part of Concrete Happenings at the University of Chicago, Vostell Concrete featured nearly 50 of Vostell’s works in a variety of media that mobilized concrete’s ambivalent connotations of permanence and inflexibility, strength and violence to engage with the postwar, internationalizing world.
