Catalogue for the exhibition at the BAWAG Foundation, Wien, 7.12.2001-3.3.2002. Öyvind Fahlström’s oeuvre shares the sixties’ Utopian outlook concerning an opening of the borders between the avant-garde and popular cultures. Playfully offering alternative models, the artist aimed at creating a different world. Fahlström’s oeuvre is characterized by a simultaneousness of different styles and techniques. He increasingly integrated media such as radio, film and theater into his work. Graphic art played a very particular role for him. In the early 1950s, Öyvind Fahlström had already been worried that works of art might turn into fetishes and warned of the seductiveness of originals in an age of mass production.
