Franz Marc and Joseph Beuys
Until 12 February 2012 at Sinclair-Haus,Bad Homburg vor der Höhe
For the first time, this exhibition of drawings, watercolours and collages by Franz Marc and Joseph Beuys provides an opportunity for fascinating comparisons between these two important twentieth-century artists. It simultaneously spans an arc from Expressionism to the art of the 1940s and 1950s and leads even further on to ultimately ponder the relationship of these two artists to Romanticism.
The Ephemeral
Group exhibition with works by Joseph Beuys at Arndt, Berlin till 17th December 2011 and then till February 2012.
Artists have always analyzed questions of the ephemeral in their work. In doing so, many artists have not merely used materials and means of expression that might disintegrate or which border on the immaterial, but rather have foregrounded the very changeability of the artwork itself.
Joseph Beuys
At the Galerie Thomas Modern, Munich, Germany until 25th February 2012
Sculptures, drawings and editions by Joseph Beuys from all of his creative periods.
