This image depicts an unconventional postcard made of felt, designed by the German artist Joseph Beuys. The surface has a coarse, textured, woolly appearance typical of felt material, with minimal white text printed on it. The text includes:

  • "joseph beuys" at the top left.
  • "filzpostkarte" (translated as "felt postcard") below the name.
  • A subtle layout resembling a postcard, with the word "postkarte" (postcard) on the right, alongside faint outlining for writing and addressing.
  • Along the bottom left, the text reads: "copy + vertrieb: edition staeck. 6900 heidelberg." indicating production details.

This piece is reflective of Beuys' conceptual art style, which often incorporated felt as a symbolic material tied to warmth, human connection, and healing.

The image shows a postcard made from brown felt. The felt has a textured, fibrous surface with slight variations in shade.

In the top left corner, the name "joseph beuys" is printed in small, white sans-serif lettering above the word "filzpostkarte," also in white.
