Lists and enumerations occur regularly in Beuys' work and he treated them as independent drawings. This sheet from 1968 is either a sheet from the list of works in the exhibition “BEUYS” at the Städtisches Museum in Mönchengladbach in autumn 1967, which was acquired in its entirety by the collector Karl Ströher, today the world-famous “Block Beuys“ at the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt, or a list for the exhibition of the Ströher Collection in Düsseldorf, Berlin and Basel in 1969. The date next to the signature rather suggests the Mönchengladbach exhibition. The over-painted lists are quite common in Beuys' work. The dark shapes fill the interspaces so that the words remain legible. This way the pictorial elements with their indeterminate energy complement the rationally founded list of works that might have been used as, for instance, a list of objects compiled in preparation of a transport.
