Special notice
Artist's Resale Right ("Droit de Suite"). Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to this lot, the buyer agrees to pay us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations, and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist's collection agent.
Further details
Beuys stamped the piece 'Magnetischer Abfall' which can mean both 'Magnetic Rubbish' as well as 'Magnetic Deficiency'; perhaps as a commentary on the inadequate choice of Iron sheet metal, which cannot be polarised and will rust.
