The poet and artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924-76) is widely
recognized as a key figure in 20th century art who questioned the
nature of art, the role of the artist, the functioning of the
museum and of the art market. This book sets out Broodthaers's
strategy for artistic success and examines the dialogue into which
he entered with his contemporaries and predecessors in 19th century
French poetry, Pop and Conceptual Art, including Stephane Mallarme,
Charles Baudelaire, Marcel Duchamp and Rene Magritte. It provides a
broad overview of his objects, paintings, films, slides, books and
installations, and his focus upon relationships, also central to
Post-Structuralist and postmodern theories. The visual qualities of
his works, combining the material with the poetic, his wit and
irony, are examined in relation to his subtle method of questioning
and contradicting, defying conventional systems and definitions.
The author explores the wider framing contexts in which things are
presented and the geographical context via maps, notions of the
voyage and a sense of place. Institutional critique, the artist's
political position and moral responsibilities in society are
discussed by analyzing the responses of Broodthaers, Daniel Buren,
Joseph Beuys and Hans Haacke to a series of museum events in the
early 1970s.
