"It's no exaggeration to claim that Beuys' Coyote became one of the best-loved artworks of the late twentieth century," writes Caroline Tisdall in the preface. Maybe. I, myself, knew nothing about this performance piece from 1974 until I came across an exhibit room at Dia:Beacon two months ago that is a sort of stage set alluding to this event. Now I'm fascinated. So I found the photos in this album very satisfying as a record of what Beuys and the coyote did together for three days. But if your reaction to his artwork is "hunh?" I don't think this book will persuade you. I did learn that the coyote's name was Little John. Elsewhere, I read that he came from New Jersey. Why not?
