Editor: This intriguing piece is "Seminar (in Collaboration with Richard Hamilton)" by Dieter Roth. It's part of the Tate collection. Its chaotic composition makes me wonder: what's the historical context behind this collaboration? Curator: It's a fascinating example of artistic dialogue, isn't it? Roth, known for his process-based art, collaborating with Hamilton, a Pop Art pioneer. It challenges traditional notions of authorship and artistic purity. What does this suggest about the art world's evolving relationship with collaboration? Editor: It makes me think about how artists challenge established norms and question the role of the individual genius. It's almost like a visual conversation about art itself. Curator: Precisely. The seminar becomes a space for shared ideas, blurring boundaries. Think about how institutions like the Tate have fostered such collaborations. Editor: That's a helpful way to understand it. I'm starting to see the socio-political commentary on art production. Thanks!

Seminar was one of many collaborations between Roth and Richard Hamilton. Roth began the process by making one lithographic plate, to which Hamilton responded by adding another layer from a new plate. Neither told the other of their plans or identified their interventions. The exchange eventually resulted in nine plates being used. The artists' working methods were quite distinct. Roth recalled: ‘I’m always so speedy and Richard does things very slowly and thinks things over. It was the best time of my life.’ Gallery label, March 2007
