Lot Essay

[Zipp] obtains material from many sources: newspapers and magazines, books from antiquarian bookstores or libraries, and of course, the Internet. His is inspired by the sciences, by music-in particular punk rock, heavy metal, jazz and modern music-and art, by classical modern art, Expressionism, Dada, the Surrealists and the Futurists. But his sights also reach much farther into the past, into the Renaissance and Medieval eras. He particularly stresses Dada, which demanded the radical deconstruction of the prevailing mores and was itself amoral, non-political and brash. Above all, however, Dadaism did not limit itself'
