FLUXUS NECESSARIUS - Is Fluxus necessary? Who needs Fluxus? And what is it anyway?

Roth Horowitz Anderson is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition of Fluxus and related work. Collected by concert pianist Ellsworth Snyder, who knew several of the artists personally, and consisting of objects, posters, programs and all kinds of publications, this exhibition offers a colorful and in-depth look at work from a group described as 'the most radical and experimental movement of the nineteen-sixties'.

Including Christo, Beuys, Cage, Oldenburg and Yoko Ono, as well as the usual Fluxus suspects, George Brecht, Maciunas, Vostell, Robert Watts, Ben Vautier et al, Snyder's fine collection of around 200 items shows the genesis and progress of a visual and formal revolution. Formed by personal relationships, need, or shared ambition; and continued through more than two decades of humor, fun and friendship, Fluxus was a crucible of the avant-garde, still capable of delight and surprise.

Fluxus Necessarius is accompanied by a limited-edition, illustrated and explanatory catalogue, available for $50
