AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A special and characteristic conceptual work by Joseph Beuys, executed on an original 20 Deutsche Mark banknote.

The banknote is prominently hand-signed by Joseph Beuys with black felt-tip marker and annotated with the handwritten text: “Kunst = KAPITAL.”

By signing real money and pairing it with this famous statement, he transformed an everyday means of payment into a conceptual work of art.

The assertion “Kunst = Kapital” is directly connected to Beuys’s ideas of art, creativity, and society. For Beuys, true capital did not consist solely of money or material possession, but above all the creative and intellectual potential of human beings. In his view, art and human creativity could be a force for social change.

The bill is professionally framed, floating on cream-colored linen mounted, in a handmade wooden frame with Plexiglas Optical HC.
Frame size: approx. 22 × 37 cm.

JOSEPH BEUYS
Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) counts among the most influential artists of the 20th century and, with his expanded concept of art and the idea of “Social Sculpture,” shaped postwar international art in a lasting way. His works combine sculpture, drawing, performance, and societal thought in a unique way. Important bodies of works by Joseph Beuys are today housed, among others, at Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin, at Schloss Moyland Museum in Bedburg-Hau, at the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt (with the famous Block Beuys), at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, and at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
