One of the three photographs offered here shows the “Straßenbahnhaltestelle” (Tram Stop) at the corner of Nassauer Allee and Lindenallee in Kleve, 1976. In this image Joseph Beuys presents the cross-section of the tram line in front of the ‘Cupido Column’. The other images show Beuys in his studio with the wooden cross for the Büderich Memorial and at his window. The photographer Fritz Getlinger was closely associated with artists living and working in Kleve and cultivated contacts and friendships with Willy Maywald and Joseph Beuys.
