Joseph Beuys artist biography | original signed artworks & limited edition prints for sale
Widely recognised as one of the most influential artists of the late 20th century, Joseph Beuys was a multi-faceted artist whose works were created through many different forms; traditional mediums such as painting and sculpture, as well as performance art and an involvement in social and political activities. Beuys, alongside Andy Warhol and Kaii Higashiyama, created the Global-Art-Fusion project in 1985; this was a fax-art project in which drawings of all three artists were distributed around the world within the space of 32 minutes – the fax went through Dusseldorf, New York, Tokyo and was finally received at Vienna's Palais-Liechtenstein Museum of Modern Art – the fax was taken to be a sign of peace during the Cold War. A lot of Beuys’ installations and performance art employed the use of unorthodox materials and adopted a ritualistic approach, often met with controversy; How to Explain Pictures To a Dead Hare is one of his most recognised performances – Beuys walked around the gallery for two hours while explaining the concept of the surrounding art to the dead hare that he carried with him.

Video: What is Neo-Dada?
Minor visual and audio art movement whose intent is similar to that of Dada artwork. While this art is a revival of some of Dada's objectives, Neo Dada emphasizes the importance of produced artwork rather than the concept used to generate the work. It is regarded as the foundation of Pop art, Nouveau realisme and Fluxus. It is known for its use of absurdist contrast, popular imagery and modern materials. Less
