Story / Additional InfoJoseph Beuys (1921 - 1986.) Title: Filzpostkarte. Medium: Original Screenprint on Felt , 1985. Edition: There was a signed edition of 120. This comes from the unlimited unsigned edition. Publishers: Edition Staeck, Heidelberg. Note: Filzpostkarte (by Joseph Beuys) is not just the title of the item, it is also a play with words: Filpostkarte – felt postcard-, and Feldpostkarte – a postcard sent to and from soldiers on in the battlfield. Joseph Beuys’s “Filzpostkarte,†reflects the artist’s esteem for the postcard in general because of its double function as a vehicle for communication and a simple artistic medium. He therefore transferred a multitude of materials, important to his work - like wood, copper and even sulphur- into the form of a postcard. Public Collections: Walker Art Centre Library Collection. Literature: Joseph Beuys: The Multiples, Schellmann, 539
