A striking work by German Fluxus artist Joseph Beuys, this piece bears his characteristic integration of language and symbolic imagery, with handwritten annotations in red ink that speak to his deeply held belief in the transformative power of art and social engagement. The rose, a recurring motif in Beuys' practice, functions here as a symbol of beauty, humanity, and the necessity of poetry within political and social action. Numbered XIII/XX and published by Edition Staeck in Heidelberg, this limited edition work reflects the collaborative spirit between Beuys and the politically engaged publisher Klaus Staeck.
