Joseph Beuys (1921–1986)

Joseph Beuys was captivated by Eurasia, the vast expanse connecting East and West. Through drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, films and multiples, Beuys sought to imagine the fluid contours of Eurasia, a space built upon history and myths yet firmly grounded in the present.
This book takes Beuys' 1968 Eurasienstab action, performed with Henning Christiansen at the Wide White Space Gallery in Antwerp, as a starting point for a reflection on territories, real and imagined. It is show more through Beuys' connections to the Wide White Space that he first met fellow artists Marcel Broodthaers and James Lee Byars.
