Joseph Beuys and His Students - Works From The Deutsche Bank Collection
On the occasion of the 100th year of Deutsche Bank’s presence in Turkey, Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM) will host an exhibition entitled “Joseph Beuys and His Students – Works from the Deutsche Bank Collection” from 9 September until 1 November 2009.
Curated by Deutsche Bank Art Director Friedhelm Hütte and art critic Ahu Antmen, the exhibition is the first to combine works on paper by Joseph Beuys with drawings, photographs and prints by his most important students: Peter Angermann, Lothar Baumgarten, Walter Dahn, Felix Droese, Imi Giese, Jörg Immendorff, Anselm Kiefer, Imi Knoebel, Inge Mahn, Ulrich Meister, Meuser, Blinky Palermo, Katharina Sieverding and Norbert Tadeusz.
“To be a teacher is my greatest work of art. The rest is a waste product, a demonstration.” declared Beuys, who taught over 300 students at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art from 1961 until 1972, when he was dismissed from the school. The artist considered himself as an educator independent of his artistic pursuits, and was known to encourage his students to take their own paths. With more than 350 works, the exhibition will present the entire spectrum of artistic approaches that Beuys promoted as a charismatic teacher. At the same time it will illustrate one of the most important chapters of contemporary art and shows the impact Joseph Beuys has had on his students’ work up until the present day.
