Minneapolis Fragment

During Beuys' first trip to America in 1974 he gave a lecture at the Art School of Minneapolis. During his talk, the artist demonstrated his ideas by drawing on attached lithography plates rather than a blackboard. A few prints were pulled by the art students following the lecture and given to Beuys and later an edition of 24 was published by Verlag Schellmann & Küser. Each plate and resulting lithograph is considered a "fragment" and intended by the artist to be hung out of sequence.
