Joseph Beuys’ leaflet ‘Surrender II’ was published in an edition of 150 copies and signed and numbered by the artist. Beuys had collected the leaflets in 1974 on his first trip to the USA during a lecture at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. From this year exists a similar multiple by Beuys titled ‘Surrender I’. In ‘Surrender II’ however, the artist has soaked the left part of the leaflet with shoe polish and used the stamp of the ‘Free International University’ instead of the ‘Hauptstrom’ stamp.


The leaflet is in very good condition, showing only minimal traces of use. The dimensions are 7.5 x 21.5 cm.


Joseph Beuys (1921-1986)

Born in Krefeld in 1921, Joseph Beuys was one of the most important German artists of the second half of the 20th century. After his military service at the German Air Force and his legendary plane crash in 1944, Beuys began his career as an artist as the master pupil of Ewald Mataré at the Stately Art Academy in Dusseldorf. Early on, the artist received numerous commissions, and in 196, he was called to the Dusseldorf Academy as a professor. Beuys’ works were exhibited at the documenta III in Kassel and the 37th Venice Biennale and honored with many international awards. In 1979, Beuys met Andy Warhol, who created the famous silkscreen portrait of the artist. In 1986, Beuys died at the age of 64 in his studio in Dusseldorf. His works can be found in many international museums, including the Tate Modern in London, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Museum Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
