Thematic sections elucidating Beuys's philosophical beliefs and holistic process reveal the broader dimensions and formative quality of his drawings. By illustrating Beuys's motivating concern--activating forces of nature to set in motion a process of transformation that would break new artistic and social ground--this collection powerfully delineates the wholeness of Beuys's thinking and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Menil Collection \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKupferstich-Kabinett, Staatliche Kunstsammlung Museum, Dresden\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(October 23, 2026-January 17, 2027)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Menil Collection, Houston\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(March 26-July 11, 2027)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Björn Egging,Edouard Kopp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300286538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300286533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Menil Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Björn Egging","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874547446015,"sku":"9780300286533","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-a-transmitter-bjzirn-egging-9780300286533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
