Description
Rare Xerox work - hand-signed by Beuys.
Creator / Publisher of the poster: The poster was designed by Beuys’ publisher Klaus Staeck (Edition Staeck) and released as a poster.
Photograph on the poster: The photomechanically reproduced image in the center shows Joseph Beuys during his famous performance “Boxkampf für direkte Demokratie” at documenta 5 in Kassel (8 October 1972).
One of the very rare images of Beuys “without a hat”
The photo itself comes from photographer Hans Albrecht Lusznat.
Political context: Beuys ran in the 1976 federal election as an independent top candidate for the AUD (Aktionsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Deutscher) in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (electoral district Düsseldorf I). The AUD was one of the predecessor organizations of the later party “The Greens.” This refers to his political art of the early 1970s.
Licensed edition released. Beuys acquired the rights to the image and altered the colors within his well-known XEROX series (the images were enlarged and printed via copying).
The works were color-varied—here toward gray. The Xerox works were produced exclusively in the mid-1970s and are regarded as an independent body of work with a very small, previously unknown edition.
HAND-SIGNED by Beuys with a black pen.
Delivery with frame – as shown.
Condition: mint condition – verso with minimal adhesive traces; signature flawless.
