About This Item
Göttingen: Steidl 2004, 2004. First edition. 300x295mm. pp.256. Original grey paper covered boards, title stamped in black to spine. Illustrated dust jacket. Very slight bumping to the bottom corners. Otherwise, near fine; an excellent copy of a beautifully produced book. pp7-17: essays by Eugen Blume ("Conversation on the Beach too long") and Manfred Leve ("Photographing Block Beuys"), text in German and English. pp20-256, black and white photographs of Beuys's work.There are two short collections of photographs from exhibitions in Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach which form part of the "Ur-history" of the Block Beuys installation. The rest of the book (pp.40-256) is devoted to the seven-room installation that constitutes "Block Beuys". This is a vast collection of sculptures, works on paper and relics from 1949-72 exploring Beuys's own ideas of art and German history. Leve's stunning photographs make a work of art out of Beuys's art.

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
