I AM A SENDER. MULTIPLES BY JOSEPH BEUYS
26 June 2014 - 11 January 2015
Since January 2013, the Pinakothek der Moderne and the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, have been engaged in a joint research project devoted to the multiples of Joseph Beuys. Both institutions possess world-class collections of the multiples and the project's chief aim is to make these important works more accessible to a broader public. The fulfilment of this goal is in keeping with the artist's wish that his multiples function as 'transmitters' of his artistic ideas in the wider world.
Generously supported in Munich by the International Patrons of the Pinakothek and in Cambridge by Renke B. and Pamela M. Thye, together with the Friends of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, the collaboration will conclude in June with a large exhibition of the multiples at the Pinakothek der Moderne. Curated by the two research fellows who have been working together on the project, the show will present a wide range of multiples drawn from the Pinakothek’s collections.
