Joseph Beuys, 1921-1986, was a German Fluxus, happening and performance artist as well as a sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist and exponent of art. His career was characterized by passionate, even acrimonious public debate, but he is now regarded as one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century.
