"I, too, asked myself if I could not sell something and succeed in life... Finally the idea of inventing something insincere came to me and I got to work immediately." With this statement, penned for his first solo show in April, 1964, Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) announced his death as a poet and birth as an artist. In fact, he was to transform the category of artist completely, purging the vocation of its medium-specific implications to pursue a unified conceptualism across media such as artist''s books, prints, film, installation, sculpture and writings--" where the world of plastic arts and the world of poetry might possibly, I wouldn''t say meet, but at the very frontier where they part." Broodthaers'' Museum of Modern Art, Eagles Department (1968-1972) inaugurated the practice now known as institutional critique, and the linguistic foundations of his art--as well as his emphasis on printed multiples--also proved prescient for subsequent strains of Conceptual art. Edited by Gloria Moure in collaboration with the artist''s estate, this momentous publication eclipses in its scope all previous Broodthaers monographs and writings collections. It gathers his early poetry, statements, critical essays both published and unpublished, open letters, interviews, preparatory notes and scripts alongside nearly 200 colour images in a massive and decisive presentation of the artists'' postmedium art. Marcel Broodthaers was born in Belgium in 1924. From the late 1940s to the early 1960s he worked primarily as a poet, and was a member of the Belgian Groupe Surrealiste-revolutionnaire, which included Andre Blavier, Achille Chavee and Rene Magritte. After almost two decades of poverty, Broodthaers performed a symbolic burial of his life as a poet by embedding 50 copies of his poetry collection Pense-Bete in plaster. However, his art continued to be characterised by its emphasis on written text. Broodthaers died in 1976, on his fifty-second birthday, and is buried in Brussels beneath a tomb of his own design that features images from his allegorical repertoire, including a pipe, a wine bottle and a parrot.

Contemporary art, both as a practitioner and as a well-respected critic and theorist. Best known for his large-scale installations incorporating mirrors--in which viewers become lost in a maze of reflections that they must navigate and interpret as they simultaneously see themselves and other viewers reflected--Graham has long examined the psychological relationship between people and architecture. This volume looks at Graham's key works and incorporates a collection of his seminal writings. A second edition, this important expanded monograph contains new material not found in the first.

By his own testimony, Marcel Duchamp considered painting a "means of expression, not an end in itself. One means of expression among others, and not a complete end for life at all." His legendary "Large Glass," for example, can be seen as simply the culmination or sum of numerous experiments conducted over an eight-year period. For this reason, every aspect of his oeuvre--painting, installation, writing, interviews--is of potentially equivalent interest, and any Duchamp primer needs to present his more ephemeral contributions, in aphorisms, diagrams and conversation, alongside his visual experiments. Works, Writings, Interviews does this job splendidly, exploring the artist's many-faceted activities, analyzing his work as an entirety and gathering his key interviews and writings.

A central figure in twentieth century art, the influence of Marcel Duchamp 1887-1968 was crucial to the development os Surrealism, Dada and Conceptual Art. Brother of the artist Raymond Duchamp Villon and half brother of the painter Jacques Villon, Duchamp began to paint in 1908. In 1912, he painted the definitive version of Nude Descending a Staircase, this was shown at the Salon de la Section d Or of that same year and subsequently created great controversy at The Armony Show in New York in 1913. On this time, he had abandoned traditional painting and drawing for various experimental forms, including mechanical drawings, studies, and notations that would be incorporated in a major work, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even 1915 -1923, also known as The Large Glass). In 1914, Duchamp introduced his readymades common objects, sometimes altered, presented a sworks of art which had a revolutionary impact upon many painters and sculptors. This book edited by gloria Moure deals with his many faceted activities and the radical positions he maintained vis a vis his contemporaries, It goes on to describe and analyze his work as a whole, including his key writings and interviews.
