Im Frühjahr 1970 mietete Joseph Beuys in der Düsseldorfer Altstadt ein Ladenlokal, als ständig besetztes Büro in der Andreasstrasse 25, dass er als ein öffentliches, für jedermann zugängliches Informations- und Aktionsbüro einrichtete.
Am 19. Juni 1971 erfolgte in Düsseldorf, Andreasstrasse 25, die Gründung der "Organisation für direkte Demokratie durch Volksabstimmung". Ein Jahr später 1972 stellte Beuys das Büro der "Organisation für direkte Demokratie durch Volksabstimmung" als seinen Beitrag zur Documenta 5 hinein und diskutierte dort 100 Tage gesellschaftlichen Gestaltungsfragen der direkten Demokratie und über Möglichkeiten ihrer Verwirklichung. Abschließend wurde am 8. Oktober, der "Boxkampf für direkte Demokratie durch Volksabstimmung" aufgeführt in der Beuys gegen Abraham David Christian kämpfte, wird das Informationsbüro in Kassel geschlossen.
Ein Tag nach Beendigung der Documenta 5 wurde Joseph Beuys von Johannes Rau, dem damaligen Wissenschaftsminister des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, fristlos als Lehrer der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf gekündigt.' euro 180

- First edition. One of 1945 copies. ‘This book is a selective distillate of the notebooks kept by George Brecht and Robert Filliou, the one an American artist and scientist (in whose name there are a number of industrial patents at Washington, D.C.) and the second a southern French sceptic, Robert Filliou, among whose other credits are work on the United Nations white paper on the post-Korean War economic recovery for South Korea and also other economic theses, as well as various uniquely reputed poems, plays, art exhibitions and rev­olutionary exploits. The Cedilla it­self is la Cedille qui Sourit, a shop they operate at Villefranche-sur-mer on the cote d'azure where small works of avant-garde art are sold along with postcards, jewelry (by Donna Jo Brewer/Jones) and all kinds of things which do or do not have a cedilla in their (French) name. And at the Cedilla the notebooks are kept, as the researches are devel­oped, in the manner appropriate to the investigations, with a bottle of either the cheapest pleasant wine or the pleasantest cheap wine, depend­ing upon the occasion. In this way that dread disease to all artists, humorlessitis, is prevented from ap­pearing, and the artists involved (and the others too) remain in good aesthetic health.” (from the back flap). euro 200

The Book of the Tumbler on Fire. Twenty Footnotes to Volume I. Köln: Galerie Rudolf Zwirner Cologne, 1969. Octavo,  8 pages, 2 plates. Wrappers with the Z of Galerie Zwirner on front wrapper.

- First edition. The booklet presents  Chapter 14 of The Book of the Tumbler on Fire 'that presents 20 works from a total of 35 footnotes from Volume 1.' Henri Martin writes in An Introduction to George Brecht's Book of the Tumbler on Fire: " Most of George Brecht's objects belong to a continuing and ever-growing collection of works he calls The Book of the Tumbler on Fire, begun in 1964, but later retroactively expanded to include works from as early as 1962. Brecht tells us, «I was thinking of doing a construction which would have consisted of a faucet attached to a white porcelin tank, perhaps like the water reservoir of a toilet. The idea was that when the tap was turned on, fire would come out of it instead of water. At the same time I was doing a series of boxes (such as those used for presenting dead butterflies) containing various small objects, which I had been calling "exhibits." It then occured to me that these boxes, being relatively flat, were like "pages," implying a "book ." This idea became uer and uer until I found myself looking for a book title. The " fire-faucet" came to mind, and through a series of associations the ultimate title became fixed." euro 80

Including "scenarios" by The Gutai Group, Jean-Jacques Lebel, Wolf Vostell, George Brecht, Kenneth Dewey, Milan Knizak, and Allan Kaprow and this very interesting: "NOTE ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS. Photographs of art works have their own reality and sometimes they are art in turn. Those taken of the subject of this book tend to be particularly free. They refer to their models, but strangely, as would a movie taken of a dream, stopped at unexpected intervals. A movie of a dream cannot be the dream, and a frame, here and there pulled from it, must leave the viewer guessing even more. Yet guessing is dreaming too, and if we can never know another man's dream as he knows it, we can come close to the spirit of his activity by engaging in a similar process. Beyond art, sharing in dream processes is probably what we call reality. I have put together these photographs, therefore, in a way that would entourage such reverie. The result, in my view, comes close to the character and meaning of the individual works, as well as their larger relations to each other and to a moment in time. Conventional grouping of data in chronological order has been perfectly valid; but this is dreaming also, and I have watched this reel too many times to pay attention any longer." Photographs by Ay-O, Rudolph Burckhardt, Robert mcElray, Peter Moore, Hans Namuth, Claes Oldenburg, Shunk-Kender, Robert Watts and others. euro 90
