Dobke, Dieter Roth - Druckgraphik, Catalogue Raisonné 1946-1998, Hamburg/London 2003, no. 240. Published by the Hamburger Kunstverein, Hamburg Image: 48 x 68cm. Sheet: 61 x 86cm. Dieter Roth’s Selbstbildnis als Loch (1972) is a screenprint in five colors, created as part of a unique series of 100 prints for the Hamburger Kunstverein. Each version is distinct, emphasizing Roth’s experimental and process-driven approach to printmaking. The composition features a silhouetted self-portrait, interrupted by a vibrant grid of overlapping colors and geometric patterns. The "hole" in the image suggests themes of absence, self-erasure, and transformation, concepts central to Roth’s work. By distorting the traditional self-portrait, he challenges the viewer’s perception of identity and representation. This piece, documented in Dieter Roth – Druckgraphik, Catalogue Raisonné, highlights his innovative contributions to contemporary printmaking.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
