"Badewanne für eine Heldin" is a sculptural assemblage by Joseph Beuys that consists of an ordinary bronze bathtub combined with an immersion heater and lead, materials that reflect the artist's characteristic use of unconventional and symbolically charged objects. Created in the context of Beuys's broader artistic practice, the work invites viewers to consider concepts of transformation, endurance, and the everyday through the lens of heroism and ritualistic action. The title's reference to a heroine suggests a feminist or humanistic dimension, while the functional materials gesture toward both domestic intimacy and the alchemical processes central to Beuys's artistic philosophy.
