You’re holding a small book with torn TV screens glued to its pages. The paper is yellowed, the edges rough. Vostell called this an “artist’s book,” but it’s really a protest. In 1963, TV was taking over homes. He ripped the screens apart to show how the news could be torn, too. The glue is still sticky under the plastic. Look up the technique called *impasto*—thick paint you can almost feel.
