About this Item

BROODTHAERS Marcel (Saint-Gilles, Belgio 1924 - Colonia 1976) (Bruxelles), Edition by the author, 7 June 1968, 27,4x21,5 cm., 1 sheet with cyclosty text. First open letter by Marcel Broodthaers published during the occupation of the Palais des Beaux Arts of Brussels, which began in May 1968. Broodthars, who had signed together with other the manifesto in which the occupants reputiated every form of marketing of the art, he was part of the delegation that was to negotiate with the direction of the museum. However, the artist soon dissociates himself from the occupants, and in this letter his motivations emerge (a greater problematization of the commercial function in art), highlighted by the reference to Andy Warhol, seriously injured 3 days before by Valerie Solanas.
