Description from the seller

JOSEPH BEUYS Reichsbanknote 1000 Mark hand-signed

Berlin, 21 April 1910 - REICHSBANKNOTE - 1000 Mark - Series No. 7378384K
Sheet size approx. 18.5 x 11 cm, handwritten-signed with red felt-tip pen

Beuys believed that everyone is an artist. That means nothing more than that every person per se has the ability to shape society. "Direct Democracy" And he not only can shape it, he should do so. "Art=Capital" Beuys always engaged with political and economic issues such as money flows. "Museum of Money" "News from Gold" Thus banknotes also became works of art, signed or bearing messages, since this is prohibited on valid banknotes—even if it is art, he turned to foreign and old banknotes.

Provenance: Hamburg collector
