Joseph Beuys: Coyote/ photographs by Caroline Tisdall
Large Glass is proud to present: "Joseph Beuys: Coyote", photographs by Caroline Tisdall and works by James Croak, Pepe Heykoop, Jeff McMillan, Jeremy Millar and Helen Mirra.
In May 1974, at Rene Block Gallery, New York, German artist Joseph Beuys (1929-86) spent one week (days and nights) in a cage with a wild coyote.
Caroline Tisdall, collaborator and friend of Beuys, was present, watching from outside the cage. With these photographs she has created a vivid document of the work.
“This is one of the most powerful art works of the twentieth century. I have often wondered how so many people who were not present at the performance are still drawn to the encounter and instinctively relate to the warmth and optimism of its meaning. I am delighted to show my photographs at Large Glass where I hope visitors will identify with nature’s powerful languages, the scapegoat and outsider, with love for other forms of life, and above all, respect for them.” Caroline Tisdall
A special set of documentary prints, "Joseph Beuys: Coyote" from Caroline Tisdall/ Large Glass (2011), and digitised by Coppipress, is for sale. Please contact the gallery. email: info@largeglass.co.uk
