Joseph Beuys

Woodcuts (Holzschnitte)

Joseph Beuys' *Woodcuts (Holzschnitte)* is a compelling portfolio of prints that reflects the artist's enduring engagement with raw, elemental mark-making. Each signed and numbered work is dated to the year its original woodblock was carved, grounding the prints in a deeply personal and historical context. Published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, the suite is presented in its original black and brown fabric and paper-covered portfolio, lending the collection a ceremonial and archival gravitas.

Medium
all signed, variously dated (to years in which the original woodblocks were carved) and numbered `II/L' in pencil, also numbered `II/L' of series `A' in pencil on a label affixed to the inside of the portfolio cover, published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, all contained in the original black and brown fabric and paper-covered portfolio.
