The exhibition explores the critical place of Marcel Broodthaers (Belgian, 1924–1976) in the history of 20th century art, and his extraordinary output across mediums that placed him at the center of international activity during the transformative decades of the 1960s and 1970s. The work of Broodthaers has had a profound influence on a broad range of contemporary artists throughout his career. Starting from his early objects variously made of mussel shells, eggshells, and books of his own poetry, to his most ambitious project, the Musée d’Art Moderne, Département des Aigles, and his distinctive Décors that set a precedent for contemporary installation art.
