Vontobel Kunstkartendruck, Feldmeilen\/Zürich, 1982. Offset-printed colour postcard, approx. 10.5 × 15 cm. VD 2531. © 1982, Copyright by Josef Beuys. Printed in Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecto reproduces Beuys’s \u003cem\u003eDer Fett-Stuhl\u003c\/em\u003e from the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt: a white-painted wooden chair with a large wedge of fat on the seat, a twig tied to the chair back, installed behind glass. Divided postcard verso with printed caption in German, French, and English; publisher details; copyright line; distribution number; and address field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced as a reproduction postcard, the object’s first function was circulation. A sculpture made from chair and fat is converted into a portable printed support: image to front, caption and address structure to reverse. The card retains its original public function. It was made to move, but this example remains unused: unposted, intact, and still carrying the administrative form of distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeuys’s work appears here not as sculpture, installation, or museum encounter, but as a small printed object prepared for passage. The interest lies in the retained format. Copyright, publisher, multilingual title, museum reference and postcard back all remain visible. A minor paper object, but exact in its evidence: Beuys translated into reproduction, distribution and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition. Unposted, with light age toning and minor handling wear. Ships flat in protective archival packaging; UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vontobel Kunstkartendruck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53896380219730,"sku":"BEUYS-VONTOBEL-PC-1982","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/JosephBeuys198201.jpg?v=1782967754","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/joseph-beuys-der-fett-stuhl-vontobel-kunstkartendruck-zurich-1982","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
