2 / 2Joseph Beuys: Drawings After the Codices Madrid of Leonardo da Vinci
A group of drawings, part of the "raw material" for a multiple that the German artist Joseph Beuys had produced four years earlier, was purchased by Dia Center for the Arts in 1979. One of a number of major pieces in Dia's collection by this seminal postwar German artist, it forms the object of study and documentation in this publication. With essays by Ann Temkin, Martin Kemp, and Cornelia Lauf. Also available in German.
