Comprar 570 obras de Beuys de uma leva


Foi o que fez a The Broad Art Foundation.

'an unprecedented acquisition of 570 artworks by 20th century artist Joseph Beuys, bringing a substantial grouping of work by the German artist to a Western United States collection for the first time...was acquired en masse for an undisclosed amount from the collection of Reinhard Schlegel, a Berlin-based collector, who knew the artist and accumulated these works over the course of 25 years...Joseph Beuys (1920-1986) was one of the most complex and influential artists of the 20th century-a radical social thinker and teacher whose life's work entailed redrawing the boundaries between art, life, spirituality and creativity. His performance artworks of the 1960s and 1970s are legendary in art circles, as are his profoundly predictive, farsighted lectures on social issues, politics and the environment.'.

Joseph BEUYS [ ] Duas Cruzes Brancas [a lembrar Danzig? ou as cruzes pintadas por 50 estudantes de Beuys, em 1971, nas árvores que iriam ser derrubadas para a extensão do Rochus Club Tennis Courts].
