Goodwin had a special regard for the German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys. In 1972 she found a fisherman's vest like the one Beuys always wore, and with it made the print "Vest for Beuys". In 1974 she took photographs of Beuys at an "action" in a New York gallery. She then placed the photos on the remaining impressions of "Vest for Beuys", and dedicated this version to him.
