Trace I: Hirsch; and Indianer mit Pfeilen beschossen
These two rare printer's proofs by Joseph Beuys, *Trace I: Hirsch* and *Indianer mit Pfeilen beschossen*, bear the artist's signature alongside a personal dedication to Hans Müller, reflecting Beuys's characteristic blending of the intimate and the symbolic. Published by Edition Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, the works draw on Beuys's enduring mythological vocabulary, invoking the stag as a spiritual guide and the figure of the Native American as a symbol of primal wisdom and suffering. As unique printer's proofs designated '1/1 P.P.' and set apart from the edition of 98, these impressions carry exceptional rarity and a directness of authorship that deepens their connection to the artist's hand.
