The Bottle Bottle-Opener
1966 / 1980
In 1968, German publishers VICE-Versand set out to bring contemporary art to a wider audience with a series of works conceived by artists involved with or close to the Fluxus movement, such as George Brecht and Robert Filliou. Each of these three multiples, in Fluxus fashion, interrogates the place of art in society. Sometimes humorously appropriating everyday objects to their own ends, they effect a fusion between art and life, breaking with the sanctification of the creative act and the mythic uniqueness of the work of art.
