Note du spécialiste

'Yes, Beuys works with the material, felt. Why doesn't he work with colour? But people never think far enough ahead to say: well, if he's working with felt, perhaps he means to evoke a colourful world inside us?'
(Joseph Beuys quoted in an interview with J. Schellmann and B. Klser in 1970, in: J. Schellmann, Joseph Beuys. Multiples. Catalogue Raisonné of Multiples and Prints 1965-1985, Munich 1985, unpaged)
