A CALL TO ACTION / AUFRUF. 1971.

Koln: sp.(the artists) 1971
30 x 21cm, 1pp red on white offset leaflet – Beuys’ action against the art dealers of Koln for being a “closed shop” calling on artist’s worldwide to help boycott and work towards the “establishment of a free art market”. This leaflet was the first printing of this appeal (there was a later copy in blue and with additional pages). This example of this scarce early Beuys document has some writing on the German text side in green in felt tipped pen which looks much like Beuys’ scrawl but we cannot be certain this was his annotation. Minor marks and very slight edge wear.
