Gedicht - Poem - Poème (Teil I) / Change - Exchange - Wechsel (Teil II)
Broodthaers, Marcel
Heidelberg. Edition Staeck. 1973
Marcel Broodthaers' poetic and commercial work of solipsistic initials.
From the edition limited to 100 copies for each, each numbered, initialled and dated in red ink at lower right.
'Broodthaers sometimes seems to transform other artist's styles. The recurrent signatures of Gedicht / Poem / Poème - Change - Exchange - Wechsel distantly resemble the obsessive marks in works by Hanna Darvoben and his ranks of repeated gold bars in Musée-museum resemble works of Minimal Art but Broodthaers fills his repetitions with significance. Both prints evidently refer in part to the industrialisation and commercialization of art. But in the former the calculations in the sheet Poème are clear and accurate while those in Change-Exchange-Wechsel are either wrong, larcenous, or based on some principle not revealed to the public. In this way Broodthaers implies the truthfulness of art.' (Michael Compton).
