I like America and America likes Me (1974): Cast

In May 1974, artist Joseph Beuys flew to New York and was transported by ambulance to the René Block Gallery at 409 West Broadway, the setting for his performance. Wrapped in felt, he lay on the stretcher for eight hours each day over three days, sharing the space with a coyote. The animal’s presence added a primal element to the durational work.
