Ausstellung von Marz - April 1969

Broodthaers, Marcel

Berlin. Galerie Gerda Bassenge. 1969
Sold
Exhibition catalogue in the form of a poster / announcement. Reproduces a short interview between the artist and Otto Hahn and other texts by Pierre Restany and Allain Jouffroy in French and German. One black and white photo-portrait of the artist and a reproduction of the artist's Le Corbeau et le Renard film/object multiple.

This is a deluxe copy of the poster - Broodthaers has signed his initials nine times within the rectangular blank space to the left of the poster, under the printed paragraph by Jean Dypreau. Broodthaers has also written his initials beside the photographic reproduction of his 'Museum' Industrial poem.

The linear block arrangement of his signature on the poster is typical of Broodthaers, and his similar to his screenprint 'La Signature', also of 1969, in which the artist reproduces his initials 153 times.
