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 Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
