Joseph Beuys – Signed Art Card – “Friedenshase”

A rare and striking signed art card by Joseph Beuys, featuring his iconic Friedenshase (Peace Hare). 

Hand-signed in vivid green by Joseph Beuys

Printed in a luxurious gold and green palette, the card displays the image of Beuys’ famous hare alongside his philosophical statement in green text: 
“Es kommt alles auf den Wärmecharakter im Denken an. Das ist die neue Qualität des Willens. Joseph Beuys”  (Everything depends on the warmth of character in thinking. That is the new quality of will.)

This piece embodies the artist’s fusion of visual art, performance, and deeply humanist ideas. The hare motif—central to Beuys’ symbolic universe—reflects themes of rebirth, transformation, and the interconnection between nature and humanity.

The work is beautifully presented in a custom-made double passe-partout in rich gold and deep green tones, complementing the card’s colour scheme, in a deep, handcrafted wooden frame, made in the Netherlands, with Plexiglas® Optical HC, for UV protection, scratch resistance, and minimal reflection. 
Size framed : approx. 54 x 44 cm
