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 Neo-Dada?
Neo-Dada is a minor visual and audio art movement with intents similar to those of Dada artwork. While it revives some of Dada's objectives, Neo-Dada emphasizes the importance of the produced artwork rather than the concept behind it. The movement is considered the foundation of Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, and Fluxus. Neo-Dada is known for its use of absurdist contrasts, popular imagery, and modern materials, blending high and low culture in a way that challenges traditional artistic conventions.
