Meaning & Analysis
Joseph Beuys in Memoriam (F. & S. II.371) features postwar artist Joseph Beuys over a camouflage background. This image presents the subject in higher contrast, giving new detail to his shirt collar, vest, and striking light eyes. Warhol produced this particular image of Beuys several years after printing the rest of the series Joseph Beuys. Working from a 1979 polaroid taken of the artist, Andy Warhol produced this signed screen print in a limited edition of 90 in memory of his contemporary’s death in 1986.
Warhol’s Joseph Beuys in Memoriam (F. & S. II.371) comes from the larger series Joseph Beuys. An influential theorist and performance artist, Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) spent the majority of his career in Europe, where his fame was concentrated. Even so, Beuys’ fame spread across the Atlantic where he held a retrospective at the Guggenheim museum in 1979. Despite being some of the biggest names in the postwar art world, the two only met a handful of times. Warhol’s production of this image postmortem indicates that infrequent meetings did not diminish the recognition and mutual admiration between the two artists.
