Wolf Vostell studied at the École National Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. The work of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the electronic studios of the WDR in 1954 inspired him to create electronic “TV-décoll/agen“. This was when his involvement with the Fluxus movement began, which he helped define in the early 60s. In 1958 Vostell was involved in the first European happening which took place in Paris, and where he produced objects using televisions and car parts.
