For Joseph Beuys, drawing was the "extension of a thought". The paper work representing him in the exhibition "Dialog Skulptur" is titled Felt Sculpture/Bronze Sculpture. A sketch of a concert piano emerges from a tangle of broad, nervous brushstrokes – similar to the instrument the artist was to cover in felt two years later. His "thought sketch" had transformed into a three-dimensional sculpture.
