Literature : Edition Schellmann 225 *** *** Joseph Beuys "Das Wirtschaftswert-Prinzip" (The Economic Value Principle) is a conceptual art project that critically examines the intersection of art, economics, and societal value systems. Developed in the 1970s, this project consists of ordinary consumer goods, such as food cans, soap, and other household products, meticulously labeled and presented as museum artifacts. Beuys elevates everyday products to the status of art objects, stripping them of their original function and placing them in a new, almost sacred context. This transformation reflects his critique of capitalism, where value is dictated by market forces rather than utility or human need. * By showcasing basic commodities as art, he forces the viewer to reconsider the constructed nature of value systems not only in economics but also in art, politics, and culture. By drawing attention to economic structures, Beuys emphasizes the role of art in redefining social dynamics. He viewed capitalism as an obsolete system that needed to be replaced by a more human-centered economy, where art and creativity play a vital role in shaping a new future. * "Das Wirtschaftswert-Prinzip" remains a significant work in Beuys oeuvre, continuing to influence discussions on art, economics, and sustainability. It is regarded as an early critique of consumer culture and commodification, themes that remain highly relevant in today s society. The project is included in several major museum collections, where it serves as a provocative reminder of Beuys radical vision for art and society. *** SHIPPING: Worldwide shipping available *** CONDITION: in good condition *****.
