Note: Central to Beuys' art is his idea that art is, and should be, part of everyday life. To that end, he created postcards that reproduced many of his works in other media as a way of disseminating his ideas to a larger community. Most of the postcards are on traditional paper, but he also made postcards out of wood, felt, metal and plastic. More than in his other multiples, the postcards reveal Beuys' sense of humor and wit.
