[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Felt blackboard eraser, yellow label. Felt and wooden multiple. Signed by Beuys in felt pen in Sutterlin (prewar German) script; numbered in felt pen by another hand. 5 x 20.2 x 2.5 cm.
Edition of 550, plus 6 hors commerce. Beuys had the idea for this edition at a political lecture he held during his first trip to the United States. When collectors wanted to purchase a blackboard he had drawn and written on, Beuys had it erased with this type of blackboard eraser. Edition 91/550.
