Joseph Beuys
1921 - 1986

Aktion: Kinloch Rannoch Edinburgh. 1970.
Mixed media. Gelatin and wax (2 pieces).
Signed and dated on a label on the base of the stand, and titled on another label. 13.7 x 25.5 x 22.5 cm (5.3 x 10 x 8.8 in).
The title refers to the project “Celtic (Kinloch-Rannoch), Scottish Symphony,” which Joseph Beuys presented together with the Danish Fluxus composer Henning Christiansen several times at the Edinburgh College of Art between August 26 and 30, 1970. Two LPs of this Scottish Symphony (Edition Schellmann, Munich) are preserved at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. [AW].

• The action “Celtic (Kinloch-Rannoch)” was performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1970 and, in all its complexity, represents Joseph Beuys' programmatic reinterpretation of the concept of art.
• The work was on permanent loan at the Kunstmuseum Bonn for almost 20 years
