Briana J. Smith will discuss Wolf Vostell’s concrete sculptures, including concrete casts of television sets and a concrete book. She will also describe how his project Concrete Cadillacs, installed as part of West Berlin’s 1987 Sculpture Boulevard, incited a massive public debate about art in public space and even inspired concrete parodies of his work.


This talk is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Wolf Vostell: Dé-coll/age Is Your Life (January 20–May 5, 2024).


Led by:

Briana J. Smith, Associate Director of Studies, Committee on Degrees in History & Literature, Harvard University
