Subject to passionate controversy during his lifetime, the work of
Joseph Beuys is now considered one of the most significant and
influential contributions to twentieth-century fine arts. This book
provides a survey of Beuys's oeuvre, which he viewed as part of a
larger, philosophically based practice emphasising direct
democracy, free access to education and the restructuring of
society to meet ecological requirements. A total of 152 works from
Beuys's many fields of activity - drawings and watercolours, prints
and multiples, sculpture and objects, spaces and actions - are
arranged in chronological order, demonstrating the artist's formal
versatility, creative richness and conceptual depth. The peculiar
poetry of the materials Beuys used - felt, grease, honey, wax,
copper and sulfur - emerges along with the gentle melancholy
suffusing the work of this sensitive agent provocateur. Alain Borer
analyses Beuys's motivation with special reference to the artist's
written and spoken statements. The book is an informed introduction
to the artistic work and conceptual world of Joseph Beuys, for
anyone interested in art.
