Portraits of his performances at the Centre G.Pompidou in 1984 and during his lecture in Germany made by photographer Nicolle A. Meyer (USA): she worked as a model and muse of Guy Bourdin in the 70s which enabled him to develop a friendship with Beuys at the same time. And also, part of the exhibition with the documentation produced by the German photographer and musician Gottfried Tollman who studied with Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and the German Klaus Behr Hamburg, during the same period. The exhibition includes a number of works and original posters signed by Joseph Beuys.
