The Essential Joseph Beuys

Description

Monografie toont een breed overzicht van het werk van de Duitse kunstenaar Joseph Beuys. - Coll. VAM: Beuys, Joseph, Voglie vedere i miei montagne, 1971, p. 114-115 ill. zw. Bevat tevens foto van Beuys "Action in moor" in de Peel. - The Essential Joseph Beuys was inspired by the idea of an imaginary Beuys exhibition unhampered by the problems connected with actual exhibitions, e.g., those of geography, insurance, fragility, and the concerns of lenders. The book provides a definitive survey of the artist's work in every medium in which he worked—drawings and watercolors, sculptures and objects, environments and actions, and multiples and printed works. Arranged chronologically and covering the four decades he was active (1945-1985), the book reflects the changes in Beuys's choice of register, from the soliloquy of his early days to the dialogue of his period as a teacher to the powerful language of his public lectures to international audiences
