Joseph Beuys — Intuition; and Noiseless Blackboard Eraser
Joseph Beuys

Intuition; and Noiseless Blackboard Eraser

Joseph Beuys presents two iconic multiples that embody his enduring preoccupation with materials as carriers of meaning and transformation. *Intuition* takes the form of a simple wooden box inscribed with a pencil drawing, inviting contemplation of thought, creativity, and the invisible forces that guide human understanding. *Noiseless Blackboard Eraser*, a felt eraser, extends Beuys' reverence for felt as a material of insulation and healing, while playfully referencing the erasure and renewal of knowledge.

Medium
Two multiples, including a wooden box with pencil drawing, and a felt blackboard eraser.
