The book “Joseph Beuys - Multiples” is a catalog documenting the artist's celebrated series of "multiples," which he produced between the mid-1960s and 1980s. Multiples were small-edition works or objects that Beuys conceived as a way to make art more accessible to a broader audience. The book serves as a comprehensive catalogue raisonné, detailing these pieces, which range from sculptural objects to political and conceptual works. Beuys viewed multiples as "vehicles" to distribute his ideas, combining his interest in art, politics, and society. Many of these works feature unique materials and bear his characteristic stamps, inscriptions, or signatures.

This publication often includes photographs and descriptive entries, making it an essential resource for understanding Beuys’ approach to democratizing art through mass production and distribution. The editions highlight his participation in the Fluxus movement and his belief in art as a transformative social force. This book is valued by collectors and scholars of contemporary art due to its depth and documentation of Beuys' impact on modern art movements.
