Beuys, Joseph – Caroline Tisdall: Joseph Beuys : we go this way. Erste Auflage. London. Violette Editions. 1998. 29,7 x 21,4 cm. 416 S. OKarton mit illustriertem OKlappenumschlag. Sehr gutes Exemplar. Durchgehend mit schwarz-weißen Abbildungen versehen. The working partnership of writer Caroline Tisdall and artist Joseph Beuys was among the twentieth century’s most productive relationships between artist and amanuensis. This photographic record documents their wide-ranging travels for Beuys’s performances, installations and lectures from the early 1970s until his death in 1986. It is also the long-awaited follow-up to Tisdall’s seminal 1979 book on the artist, which accompanied the exhibition of Beuys’s work that she curated for the Guggenheim Museum in New York. This book’s title, We Go This Way, refers to a phrase used by Beuys in his work with Tisdall and suggests a way forward through the often daunting complexity of Beuys’s philosophy and art. More than 300 of Tisdall’s own photographs, most of which are previously unpublished, are accompanied throughout by a text in which Tisdall leads the reader through such diverse topics as Beuys’s relationship to ecology, politics, shamanism, alchemy, botany, literature, economics, philosophy and psychology. Her observations on Beuys’s art reach a poetic simplicity rarely achieved in art writing – all the more remarkable given the multi-layered nature of his work (Verlagsinfo).
