Catalogue Note
Figure majeure de l'art conceptuel, Marcel Broodthaers trouve son style entre dadaïsme et surréalisme, humour et sarcasme social. Les quatre photographies sont des film stills de son film du même titre, également illustrées dans la publication jointe à ce lot, dans lequel l'artiste semble proposer une analyse subtile basée sur des oppositions formelles et historiques qui marquent la division entre XIXe et XXe siècle, la peinture et la photographie.
