Paperback. Condition: New. Essential texts on a legendary twentieth-century artist, including key essays by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Rosalind Krauss, Peter Bürger, Thierry de Duve, and others. Twentieth-century artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986)â"legendary and self-mythologizing, enigmatic and controversialâ"remains an important influence on artists today. Beuys embraced radically democratic artistic and political ideas, proclaiming âEveryone is an artist,â and advocating direct democracy through referenda. He famously worked with such nontraditional materials as felt, fat, and plants and animals both alive and dead. Beuys and his workâ"performance art, drawing, painting, sculpture, installationâ"received perhaps the most contentious reception of any postwar artist. This reader brings together the crucial writings on Beuys and his work, presenting key essays by prominent artists and critics from North America and Europe. With a foreword by Arthur C. Danto, âStyle and Salvation in the Art of Beuys,â Benjamin H. D. Buchloh's now classic 1980 essay, âBeuys, Twilight of the Idol,â and influential texts by Vera Frenkel, Thierry de Duve, Rosalind Krauss, Peter Bürger, Irit Rogoff, and others, Joseph Beuys: The Reader is the most significant gathering of critical texts on this challenging artist that has ever been assembled. It will be essential reading for any student of Beuys and for all those interested in postwar art, the cult of the artist, and art's engagement with politics and society. Contributors Joseph Beuys, Eugen Blume, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Peter Bürger, Jean-François Chevrier, Catherine David, Thierry de Duve, Vera Frenkel, Stefan Germer, Rosalind Krauss, Barbara Lange, Dirk Luckow, Claudia Mesch, Viola Michely, Irit Rogoff, Gregory Ulmer, Theodora Vischer, Antje von Graevenitz, Dorothea Zwirner.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 256 Seiten/pp., 172 illustrations. - In the course of sixteen years, Joseph Beuys received more than a hundred letters from James Lee Byars, without ever writing back himself. Byars sent a wealth of elaborately designed letters to different people, letters which may well make up the greatest part of his work, but Joseph Beuys was the only colleague with whom Byars corresponded. And quite an unusual exchange of letters it is, enthralling readers by their extreme fragility and immense variety of materials, forms and ideas. His letters are not written with the purpose in mind of receiving an answer, rather, they constituted his day-to-day artistic routine.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 160 Seiten/pp., 91 Abbildungen/ illustrations - The catalog presents a critical review of Byars's oeuvre and traces his development as an artist from his formative period in Japan to his later years in New York-ranging from his performances and work on paper and fabric devoted to the theme of life, to the splendid late sculptures in gold, marble, and velvet which deal with death as the embodiment of perfection.
