BEUYS (Joseph). Honigpumpe am arbeitsplatz. Heidelberg, Stae - Lot 541
BEUYS (Joseph). Honigpumpe am arbeitsplatz. Heidelberg, Staeck, 1977, 11 illustrated postcards in plastic sleeves. The first card is stamped and signed in pencil by the artist. First edition. A 1977 "Documenta-Pass" signed by Beuys is enclosed. In 1977, at Dokumenta 6, Joseph Beuys designed "The Honey Pump in the Workplace", one of two motors driving a pump that propels hundreds of liters of honey through a system of Plexiglas tubes running from floor to roof. The other motor turns a grease-covered crankshaft. The honey pipeline's path through the Fredericianum passes through the back room Beuys chose for his F.I.U. (Free International University) sessions, where he spent a hundred days speaking, preaching and teaching. The honey pump is the circulation of blood, the F.I.U. room the ventricle of the heart, the head organ the tube in the roof space. Its honey pump is the symbol of creative forces manifested in movement (the heart), thought (the head) and will (the machine). Condition as new (Schellmann, 181).
