Unique work - photographic linnen with a developed photographic image and photo fixation. - Dedicated to Lothar Wolleh (the photographer of the motifs for the UNTERWASSERBUCH ) // Beuys for Lothar by Joseph Beuys is a unique photographic work from 1973, created on linen with a developed photographic image and photo fixation. This monochromatic piece captures Beuys standing in his iconic coat and hat, centered against a stark vertical white strip, flanked by dark, textured areas. The reflection of his figure appears below, adding a layered, almost surreal effect to the composition. Dedicated to photographer Lothar Wolleh, this work resonates with themes of identity and presence, hallmarks of Beuys's oeuvre. The raw texture and solemn tone underscore the artist's connection to performance and ritual, encapsulating his influence on contemporary art.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
