Order (1973) by Joseph Beuys is a stamped order card (Bestellkarte) printed as an offset on red card, conceived as a functional multiple that collapses paperwork, distribution, and authorship into a single object. The limited edition print mimics an everyday “order” form, then is activated by Beuys’ rubber stamp and handwriting, turning administrative language into a compact conceptual gesture.

Often associated with Beuys’ use of multiples as vehicles for communication, Order treats the format of commerce and bureaucracy as a site of meaning, where a simple card becomes both artwork and instrument of circulation.

Issued in 1973 in an edition of 120, Order is hand-signed and numbered by the artist. The fine art print measures 14.8 x 10.5 cm and is catalogued as Schellmann 78.
