Beuys Portrait is an original black and white photograph representing a profile of the renowned German contemporary artist Joseph Beuys with his typical felt hat. This photo was very likely realized in 1972 by Buby Durini.
In excellent conditions.
On the back, there are two black stamps "Foto Buby Durini" and "Lucrezia De Domizio" with all the contact details (address, telephone number).

Background:
After a period spent in Naples and Foggia, Joseph Beuys arrived in Bolognano (Pescara) in 1972, invited by the spouses Lucrezia De Domizio and Buby Durini. Since then, he has kept visiting them again many times in the following years.
In Bolognano, he carried out a series of artistic activities, including the foundation of the Institute for the Rebirth of Agriculture (1976), the creation of the Paradise Plantation with the planting of 7000 plants for the restoration of biodiversity (1982), and the work Olivestone (1984). In 1984, he became an honorary citizen of Bolognano.
On 3 April 1980, an important meeting with Alberto Burri took place at the Rocca Paolina in Perugia, curated by Italo Tomassoni. The blackboards created by the German artist are permanently displayed at the Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, whilst Burri donated to the city an imposing black sculpture, still exposed at the Rocca Paolina.
