During his career as a professor in Dusseldorf, Nam June Paik divided his time between New York and Germany. Erik Andersch, a close friend of Paik, collected and recorded Paik’s works while the artist stayed in Germany. First Portable TV is one of the most representative works that the Nam June Paik Art Center had purchased from Andersch in 2009. With its title First Portable TV, this small work reveals Paik’s vision on the media and is full of his Fluxus-like sense of humor.
