Most famous for his ritualistic public performances. He chamioned the healing powers of art. Along side performance and sculpture he also worked with prints, drawing, instillation.
The myth says that during WW2 he was active in service with the German airforce. Stationed in the Crimea. He said he was rescued from the wreckage by Tartar tribesmen, who wrapped him in animal fat and felt which kept him alive. His work was often made from these materials or included them. He also wore a felt hat and carried a lump of lard in his top pocket. The materials that saved him.
