Endre Tót — Biographie — Slash Paris

Endre Tót is one of the most significant figures of the Hungarian neo-avant-garde generation and an emblematic figure of international conceptualism and mail art. Tót’s developed his main subjects, Nothingness, Joy, as well as his Rain series from 1971 onwards, all significant works which are signature pieces of his conceptual ideas. The first manifestation of Nothingness as an idea in Tót’s art was the use of the Zero character, appearing in various contexts and media. Tót’s so-called Joys or Gladnesses were humorous parodies of the culture of optimism, articulated via a long-term series of actions and artworks.
