There have been exciting times, when the Vice-Versa Versand sold in the 70s the "intuition box” by Joseph Beuys for around 10 euros, or Edition Schellmann the" Erdtelephon " for approx. 300. At the peak of the boom on the art market brought the first-mentioned wooden box at least 1,000 euros, based on felt paper “Erdtelephon” 10,000 euros or more. The reason: The importance of Joseph Beuys ( died 1986) for the following generations become for the art world increasingly conscious. And in relation to similar works by Andy Warhol prints and multiples were of the Grand Master from the Rhine River has always been undervalued.
Among the leading Editeur by Joseph Beuys was the already mentioned Schellmann Edition, Munich, with multiples and graphic sheets in smaller editions, at prices from 1.000 marks upwards. Klaus Staeck from Heidelberg, who was a friend of Beuys, brought the art of Düsseldorfer often at low prices and high volume among the people, including the famous "3-ton Edition" in an edition of 500 signed pieces. Some leaves are still offered for 600 euros, see http://www.edition-staeck.de/. It also provides a wealth of works on paper at affordable prices.
At fair prices offers the Mönchehaus Museum (www.moenchehaus.de/shop/) in Goslar graphic works by Beuys, Baselitz, or from Balkenhol.
