Ausstellung Beuys in Leeds bis 21.1.: Artist Room - mit Scala Napoletana von 1985

Und noch eine Ausstellung:

13 October – 21 January 2018 Leeds Art Gallery 

Explore the work of Joseph Beuys in its first return to Leeds since 1983

An important return to Leeds by Joseph Beuys, who last displayed his work in the city in 1983.

Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) was one of the twentieth century’s most revolutionary cultural figures, who changed the look and meaning of sculpture forever. A political and social activist and educator, Beuys saw creativity as central to all aspects of human existence, declaring that ‘everyone is an artist’.

This major exhibition introduces his ground-breaking sculptures, iconic persona and ‘constellation of ideas’ to a new generation.

These works, drawn from the ARTIST ROOMS collection, as well as the National Galleries of Scotland and Tate, show the strong scientific basis for Beuys’s art and his pioneering use of materials such as felt, fat, wax and copper. At the heart of the exhibition is the sculpture Scala Napoletana 1985, made only a few months before the artist’s death in 1986.
