Index card with printed handwritten (wer nicht denken will fliegt raus) and typographic ( ‘sich selbst’ ) text. Hand-signed by the artist in pencil. Ref.: Schellmann ‘ Joseph Beuys – Multiples ’, 6th ed., 1985: nr. 172 (cfr. ‘card also sold separately’). // This characteristic multiple by Joseph Beuys distils his belief in thought, pedagogy, and the transformative power of art into a single humble index card. The printed handwritten phrase “wer nicht denken will fliegt raus” — whoever doesn’t want to think gets thrown out — is paired with the typographic title “sich selbst,” creating a layered interplay between the personal and the programmatic. Hand-signed in pencil by Beuys and catalogued in Schellmann’s definitive multiple reference, this deceptively simple object encapsulates the artist’s conviction that intellectual engagement is an essential human responsibility and the foundation of his expanded concept of art.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
