OMMAGIO A BEUYS
Friedrichsfehn: I.A.C. Central Office, 1976. Saddle-stapled 16mo in self-wrappers printed in black throughout on white stock. Unpaginated [12 pp.]. Text in Italian and German.
Variant artists’ book by Clemente Padín featuring an hommage to Joseph Beuys’ 1972 iconic photograph ‘LA RIVOLUZIONE SIAMO NOI’ in the form of alternate montages, including a detail photo of a fascist policeman, the pope, a chair, a man in a suit without a face, and Adam & Eve among other depictions.
This is the 1976 edition published by Klaus Groh at I.A.C. Central Office, who also reissued another edition in 1994 with a slightly different cover design. Edition Staeck published an earlier edition in 1974 and then seemingly another edition in 1986, both with a slightly different cover design and image sequencing supposedly.
