Dusseldorf / Neuss --
Neuss's "art room" director Günter Meuter (59) years of driving a real Beuys, toured with the VW Beetle convertible from the famous Düsseldorf art professor Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) through the country.
Meuter: "I now sell the treasure on Ebay: The minimum bid is 15,000."
After the death of the artist's widow, Eva Action car (34 hp, built in 1985, Eller-custom-made conversion) had gone on before it was acquired by a third owner of Meuter. The paint is good, the engine starts, the technology and the soft top but needs work.
Meuter: "So you have to invest something. I had some offers. There are so many lovers and people who revere the Beuys. Time I was friends with him. He drove the Beetle for a year before he was severely ill. "
Beuys student Meuter has other legacies of the Master: Beuys the original lectern from the academy, signed cards, photos and drawings. Those who follow the auction, or even wants to bid, you must enter a search term on eBay, "Joseph Beuys-car". The auction runs for a week.
