1. Euregioverlag Beuys 100
Joseph Beuys, born on 12 May 1921 in Krefeld, grew up in Kleve and studied sculpture at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he taught as a professor from 1961. His first solo exhibition took place in 1953 at Haus van der Grinten. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1976 and 1980, and took part in seven documenta exhibitions. In 1979, he became the first German artist to have a retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Joseph Beuys passed away in Düsseldorf on 23 January 1986, leaving behind a legacy that profoundly influenced the art world in the second half of the 20th century, particularly at documenta in Kassel.
This anthology commemorates Beuys on the occasion of his 100th birthday in 2021. The articles explore his life and work from various perspectives, including the notable project "7000 Oaks," where each tree was planted with basalt stelae in the Kassel area. Beuys initiated this project on 16 March 1982, despite facing significant opposition. The book also presents a current planting action in Chicago that restages this artwork.
Additional topics covered include "Where is Joseph Beuys? A Conspiracy Theory," personal reflections on Beuys, expert opinions on the acquisition of his works, and his connections to Italy. The economically less developed southern Italy, known as the Mezzogiorno, served as an important source of inspiration for Beuys, influencing his artistic expression through its originality, culture, and history. His close spiritual and emotional bond with the people of this region is highlighted, along with discussions of his other works for various documenta exhibitions, such as the "Office of the Organisation for Direct Democracy through Referendum" and "Pack.".
2. Euregioverlag arnold bode
Arnold Bode is known to the art world as the spiritual father and initiator of the documenta art exhibition, which has been held in Kassel since 1955. Less well known is his private life, his work as an artist and designer, as an interior designer and urban planner. Born in 1900, he had his first successes as a painter and curator after studying art in Kassel. His professional start in 1930 at the Werklehrerseminar in Berlin, however, soon ended with a professional ban under National Socialism. With the help of his family, he made a living as an interior decorator. After the Second World War, he was able to demonstrate considerable success in trade fair construction. He was one of the founders of the Werkakademie, which was re-founded in 1947. There he was first a lecturer in painting, then professor from 1963 to 1969. His further life was marked by the documenta, founded in 1955, which occupied him until the end of his life. Sylvia Stöbe has compiled the memories of family members still living, contemporary witnesses and information from other sources to create a biography of Arnold Bode.
