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 avant-garde?
Avant-garde refers to innovative and experimental ideas in the arts that challenge established norms and conventions. Originating from the French term for advance guard, it describes both the movement and the artists who push the boundaries of creativity, often exploring new techniques, forms, and concepts. The avant-garde has been a driving force in various art movements throughout history, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, continually reshaping the landscape of art and culture.
