Marcel Broodthaers: A Retrospective

Abstract

Catalog of an exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York, February 14-May 15, 2016, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain, October 4, 2016-January 9, 2017, and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, Germany, March 4-June 11, 2017. This catalog and the corresponding exhibition on Marcel Broodthaers are the result of the knowledge and commitment of many individuals both inside and outside the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA), the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. Many of the texts of this catalog are rooted in the presentations and discussions at the Broodthaers seminar at MoMA in 2014 that brought together many of the curators, scholars, gallerists and artists whose contributions would lay the foundation for this catalog, making it a seminar book about the artist.00Exhibition: Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (05.10.2016-09.01.2017).
