ABOUT THE ARTIST
Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) was one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century and a key figure in conceptual art, performance art and social sculpture. Born in Krefeld (Germany), he developed a multidisciplinary artistic practice in which he used materials such as felt, grease, copper and wood, imbuing them with profound symbolic meaning. His work championed the idea that art could transform society, encapsulated in his famous statement that ‘every human being is an artist’. At the same time, he produced a remarkable body of graphic work, including etchings, lithographs, screen prints and numerous editions that helped to disseminate his ideas and projects. Among his major achievements were his participation in several editions of Documenta in Kassel and the Venice Biennale, and his decisive influence on the development of contemporary and conceptual art on an international scale.
