BEUYS IN THE BASEMENT is an exhibition of never before seen photographs of artist Josef Beuys taken in the 1960s by the late German emigre photographer Michael Montfort. Most noted for his collaborations with the poet Charles Bukowski, Montfort was a midcentury documenter of rogue creative genius on two continents, following and photographing eccentric greats as diverse as actor Klaus Kinski, writer William S. Burroughs and singer/poet Jim Morrison.
