Joseph Beuys & Jorg Immendorff: Art Belongs to the People!

‘Art Belongs to the People!’ is the second in a new series of exhibitions in collaboration with the Hall Art Foundation (USA). Curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, former Exhibitions Secretary at the Royal Academy, it presents a selection of important works by two of Germany’s greatest modern artists, Joseph Beuys (1921‒1986) and Jörg Immendorff (1945‒2007). The exhibition focuses on the artists’ output from 1968 onwards, evoking the world of the student protests which were taking place across Europe and in the United States. At the time, Beuys was a teacher and Immendorff his student at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art and they were leading cultural figures in Germany, working, symbiotically, to promote the ideological revolution through their conception of art.
