Capri Batterie
Joseph Beuys's *Capri Batterie* is a characteristically provocative multiple that pairs a simple yellow electric plug inserted into a lemon, proposing the organic fruit as a natural source of energy and a symbol of regenerative potential. Created in 1985 and published by Edizioni Lucio Amelio in Naples, this work exemplifies Beuys's enduring interest in alternative energy, transformation, and the intersection of nature and technology. Issued in an edition of 200, each example was accompanied by a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity, reinforcing Beuys's conceptual engagement with the democratization of art through multiples.
