Joseph Beuys - Coyote by Caroline Tisdall is a remarkable photobook that captures the essence of one of Joseph Beuys' most iconic performances. Published in 2008 by Schirmer/Mosel, this beautifully produced hardcover volume documents Beuys’ 1974 performance I Like America and America Likes Me, where he spent three days in a New York gallery with a live coyote, engaging in a symbolic exploration of humanity's relationship with nature and the wild.
The book features a collection of powerful photographs from the performance, along with insightful commentary by Tisdall, a long-time collaborator of Beuys. Through vivid imagery and Tisdall’s detailed narrative, the photobook brings to life Beuys' unique approach to art, his use of symbolic gestures, and his deep engagement with themes of transformation, healing, and the spiritual.
In excellent condition, this book is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in Joseph Beuys' performance art and conceptual works, as well as those exploring the intersection of art and the natural world.
