Marcel Broodthaers - L'Angelus de Daumier (1ére partie) - Centre Pompidou 1975

First volume of the exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of the Broodthaers exhibition of the same name, held at Centre Pompidou Paris in 1975.
This exhibition brings to Paris, a close a series of events organized in Basel, Berlin and London. Marcel Broodthaers attempted to "articulate in different ways objects and paintings made between 1964 and this year [1975], to form rooms in a 'décor' spirit". One of his exhibits is the Salle rose, a nineteenth-century salon that has remained in place, open "for the first time to the public" as the "Musée de la baronne Salomon de Rothschild". The White Room, meanwhile, is a "reconstruction, as faithful as possible of an ensemble created by the artist in 1968, which at the time attacked the notion of the museum and that of hierarchy". The white cube of the modern exhibition space is replaced by a wooden décor referring to a real place: the Musée d'Art Moderne. Département des Aigles, a nineteenth-century section Broodthaers had opened in his house at 30 rue de la Pépinière in Brussels, and which presented shipping crates and postcards of old paintings as works of art.
Introduction by Pontus Hulten with texts by the artist. Includes bibliography and a biography of the artist.
