A catalog dedicated to Joseph Beuys’ renowned installation Zeige Deine Wunde (Show Your Wound), created in 1974–1975. This work reflects Beuys' exploration of life, death, and human vulnerability, embodying his belief in art’s potential to heal and provoke social change. Featuring two vitrines containing tools, objects, and symbolic elements arranged in a sterile, almost clinical setting, the installation invites viewers to confront existential questions of mortality and suffering.

This publication includes black-and-white photographs documenting the artwork, along with accompanying texts that delve into Beuys' conceptual approach and the philosophical underpinnings of the piece. The minimalist design of the catalog mirrors the somber and introspective nature of the installation, making it an essential addition for collectors and scholars interested in post-war conceptual art.
