Joseph Beuys: Drawings After the Codices Madrid of Leonardo Da Vinci

Joseph Beuys is back in fashion on New York's streets, now that the fashion world has declared that 'grey is the new black'. Grey felt and fur (together with fat, which isn't yet back in fashion) were among Beuys's preferred materials. The German artist, who died in 1986, was among the leading art radicals of the Fluxus movement of the late '60s and early '70s. 'Drawings After the Codices Madrid' is a series of 1974 sketches by Beuys inspired by the Da Vinci notebooks recovered in the '60s and which Beuys saw as symbolising the marriage of science and art - and an opportunity to extend the reach of art beyond the elite.
