Scope note
Modern art tendency attributed to Daniel Spoerri, who opened the Eat Art Gallery in Dusseldorf in 1970. The gallery was dedicated to works made from food materials, or that represented the acts of serving or consuming food. Artists associated with this movement initially were Dieter Roth, Joseph Beuys, Richard Lindner, Ben, and the Nouveaux Réalistes Arman, César and Niki de Saint Phalle, and Spoerri himself, whose "snare paintings" consisted in the fixed remains of meals, presented as tableaus. The term has been applied to contemporary artists working in a similar mode.
