How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (‹See Tfd›German: Wie man dem toten Hasen die Bilder erklärt) is a performance piece staged by the German artist Joseph Beuys on 26 November 1965 at the Galerie Schmela in Düsseldorf. While it was only Beuys’s first solo exhibition in a private gallery, it is sometimes referred to as his best known action.[1]
