I am sure that the master would be horrified by this kind of homage. Tributes and commemorations would probably be more appropriate actions and provocations on his death day. After all, he preferred to provoke throughout his life rather than listen to flattery. However, I find statements like the following particularly shocking:
Beuys was just a figurehead of the art academy. The times when great artists wanted to provoke are over. Even Beuys would not stand out today with his actions, is painting student Eva-Maria Schmitt (21) convinced.
I do not believe that such "art students" really advance art - there is already enough adapted droning in elevators, we do not need artists for that ...
