Each packet is signed by Joseph Beuys and labeled with \"1 economic value.\" This was Beuys' compelling installation \u003ci\u003eWirtschaftswerte\u003c\/i\u003e (Economic Values), a declaration that culture had once and for all been reduced to economic property. The products selected were notably from the German Democratic Republic, heightening disparities between West and East, capitalism and socialism, high and low culture, the mundane and the luxurious. \u003ci\u003eDas Wirtschaftswertprinzip \/ The Principle of Economic Value\u003c\/i\u003e documents the original installation, which Beuys later recreated elsewhere and expanded in a series of multiples. Originally published in 1990, the book has now been redesigned by Klaus Staeck and Gerhard Steidl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Beuys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958299148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958299146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.81h x 8.50w x 0.79d","brand":"Joseph Beuys","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079471821055,"sku":"9783958299146","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b0dfd45-e176-40db-a69a-7b6b2a4ae90f.jpg?v=1685481333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joseph-beuys-joseph-beuys-9783958299146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
