But you know what has happened to his "Fettecke". So they probably wanted to save these priceless objects from vicious attacks of over ambitioned cleaning personnel. I think Beuys would smile at this.nosaj wrote: I love Beuys...it's funny, at a museum in Germany I was able to just walk on top of the blackboards, and NASCAD had some laying around their floor from a lecture he gave in the 70's, but when they were donated to the AGO a number of years ago, they ended up behind glass!! Not really in his spirit at all...

It is, and I would be willing to help, if I can. I actually held 5 out of the 6 Syd paintings that were auctioned in my hot little hands. The floral still life from 1963 was framed on the wall, so I couldn't get my mitts on it!Unfortunately, I'm a biochemist, and never took Art History in any form or fashion, so I would be no help in assessing the technical characteristics and techniques of his paintings.
