31.6 x 22 cm, 288 pp. Boards with pictorial dustjacket. A scarce monograph with an extensive text in English with 513 illustrations in black/white of Beuys' work - written by his closest friend and supposedly the 'secret person' in Ireland. The most accessible explanation of Beuys' life and work up to 1979 and a key text in understanding the shaman's symbolic works. This copy unusually signed by Beuys on the first endpaper. Scarce but doubly so signed. Very good.

32.5 x 20.5cm, unpaginated (c. 72pp but recto only). Card covers. The privately printed attempt at gaining political support and funding from the EEC (now EC) for Beuys's vision of a Free International University where students did not gain degrees but rather co-operated in projects and creative initiatives. Additionally staff and students were to live communially in the same buildings as they worked together. The choice of Ireland was more political than due to Beuys' then connection with Celtic countries. A VG example.
