1997117199Cambridge Massachusetts: The MIT Press 1997. Hardcover. VG/VG. Black cloth over boards; Color pictorial dj.; 239 pp.; 152 color and duotone plates. Inspired by the idea of an imaginary Beuys exhibition--one unencumbered by the fragility of the works insurance geography etc.; Provides an overview of Beuys's work presented chronologically. Joseph Beuys 1921-1986 was one of the most original and influential artists of the twentieth century. Challenging the traditional confines of art he embraced a broader philosophically and politically based practice formulated in the dictum "Everyone is an artist." His unique approach to the creative process transformed materials such as felt fat honey blood wax copper and sulfur into fluent and expressive artistic media. Called the most olfactory artist in history he preferred the smells of the pungent and decaying just as he favored the indecent ugly and disfigured over the polished shiny tasteful products of city slickers and social seekers. His long-term radical aims included the introduction of direct democracy through referendum free access to all educational institutions and a restructuring of the economy based on ecological necessity. The Essential Joseph Beuys was inspired by the idea of an imaginary Beuys exhibition unhampered by the problems connected with actual exhibitions e.g. those of geography insurance fragility and the concerns of lenders. The book provides a definitive survey of the artist's work in every medium in which he worked - drawings and watercolors sculptures and objects environments and actions and multiples and printed works. Arranged chronologically and covering the four decades he was active 1945-1985 the book reflects the changes in Beuys' choice of register from the soliloquy of his early days to the dialogue of his period as a teacher to the powerful language of his public lectures to international audiences. In this introductory essay "A Lament for Joseph Beuys" Alain Borer summarizes the artist's oeuvre drawing out themes of great complexity and relating them to Beuys' artistic and social milieus.
