Joseph Beuys
Werke
Cologne, Germany: Edition Hundertmark, 1987
16 pp., 15 x 21 cm., staple-bound
Edition of 600 copies
The 22nd booklet in the series features a cover photograph of Beuys at work, taken by publisher Armin Hundertmark. Produced a year after the artist's death, the thin volume documents Beuys' postcards, boxed works, objects and drawings. It features a reproduction of the Fluxus manifesto which Beuys signed (the only artist to do so), after first altering the line about purging the world of "Europanism":
"Purge the world of bourgeois sickness, “intellectual”, professional & commercialized culture, purge the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art, abstract art, illusionistic art, mathematical art, Purge the world of AMERICANISM".
Werke is available from Edition Hundertmark, here, for 16 Euro, and from Printer Matter, here, for $21.00 US.
