Footnotes
Rare proof in gold ink. Haring depicts Beuys as an oak tree, an homage to Beuys' installation at Documenta 7 where the artist planted 7,000 oak trees throughout the city of Kassel. Haring, who was also participating in Documenta 7, appreciated the older artist's emphasis on creating works that would help society.
