Minneapolis Fragments (Sun State II)

1977

"Minneapolis Fragments (Sun State II)" is a series of three lithographs by Joseph Beuys created on hand-made paper, reflecting the artist's characteristic integration of drawing, printing, and conceptual practice. The work exemplifies Beuys' interest in fragmentary forms and energetic mark making, combining gestural abstraction with references to natural and social forces. As part of Beuys' broader exploration of transformation and healing through art, the piece demonstrates his distinctive approach to printmaking as a vehicle for philosophical and material investigation.
