Before the Hessen State Museum in Darmstadt restored the Block Beuys (1949–1972)—the last installation of works curated by Joseph Beuys himself—Tacita Dean had the opportunity to document the empty rooms with her camera. Her approach is closely related to Beuys’ own work: She focuses on the spatial details and the patches and flaws in the wall coverings. Darmstädter Werkblock consists of eight photogravures, depicting Dean’s unique perspective on Beuys’ intense microcosm.
