Spanning sculpture, paintings, drawings, prints, films, slide projections, video work, and large scale installations, Marcel Broodthaers’ rich oeuvre has been a continuous source of inspiration for a wide range of contemporary artists. During his life, Broodthaers emphasized the tradition of dialogue, desiring that his work be a starting point for communication, and, decades after his death, contemporary artists continue to pursue a dialogue with his work. For this publication, Broodthaers was made the subject of a questionnaire that was sent a number of working artists, seventeen of whom responded: Carl Andre, Daniel Buren, Stan Douglas, Hans Haacke, Ilya Kabakov, Martin Kippenberger, Mike Kelley, Thomas Locher, Christian Philipp Muller, Paul McCarthy, Pavel Pepperstein, Raymond Pettibon, Jason Rhoades, Niele Toroni, Lawrence Weiner, Vadim Zakharov, and Peter Zimmermann. Their responses are included here, alongside an introduction by Dorothea Zwirner.
