Setting a precedent for what we call installation art today, his work has had a profound influence on a broad range of contemporary artists, and he remains vitally relevant to cultural discourse at large. Published to accompany Broodthaers’ first retrospective in New York, this volume examines the artist’s work across all mediums. Essays by the exhibition organizers Christophe Cherix and Manuel Borja-Villel, along with a host of major scholars, including Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Jean François Chevrier, Thierry de Duve and Doris Krystof, provide historical and theoretical context for the artist’s work. The book also features new translations of many of Broodthaers’ texts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eMarcel Broodthaers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e (1924–76) worked as a poet and critic until the age of 40, when he declared himself a visual artist.
