Wolf Vostell was a German artist who is considered a pioneer of video and installation art, and a key figure in the Fluxus movement. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wuppertal and later at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
Vostell's art was heavily influenced by the horrors of World War II, and he often incorporated themes of violence and destruction in his work. He was interested in exploring the relationship between art and technology, and he experimented with new media such as television, video, and sound.
One of Vostell's most famous works is "Concrete Traffic," a 1970 installation in which he placed a Cadillac in a block of concrete. The piece was intended to comment on the impact of automobile culture on society and the environment.
Another notable work is "TV-Burying," a performance piece in which Vostell buried a television set in the ground, with only the screen visible. The work was a commentary on the pervasive influence of television on modern life.
Vostell's work has been exhibited extensively around the world, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Venice Biennale, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
Sigmar Polke was a German painter and photographer.
Polke experimented with a wide range of styles, subject matters and materials. In the 1970s, he concentrated on photography, returning to paint in the 1980s, when he produced abstract works created by chance through chemical reactions between paint and other products. In the last 20 years of his life, he produced paintings focused on historical events and perceptions of them.
