Joseph Beuys - I Like America and America Likes Me (1974)

“A master of compelling performance pieces, Beuys flew to New York, picked up by an ambulance, and, swathed in felt, was transported to a room in the Rene Block Gallery. The room was also occupied by a wild coyote, and for a period of 8 hours a day for the next three days, Beuys spent his time with the coyote in the small room, with little more than a felt blanket and a pile of straw.

While in the room, the artist engaged in symbolist gestures, such as striking a triangle and tossing his gloves to the coyote.
