Lot Essay

"Beuys sought to activate social change through art, often involving his students at the Kunstkademie Düsseldorf in his political endeavors. This commanding life–size image stages a direct confrontation between the artist and viewer, the activist and passive bystander, demanding that the latter join the cause of transforming society" (Eye On Europe: Prints, Books & Multiples/1960 to Now, Museum of Modern Art, New York, October 15, 2006–January 1, 2007).
