A Voyage on the North Sea
A Voyage on the North Sea is a seminal artist's book by Belgian conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaers, blending photography and text to explore themes of nautical imagery, artistic mythology, and the nature of representation. The work juxtaposes reproductions of a 19th-century amateur painting of a sailing boat with cinematic stills, creating a layered dialogue between image and meaning. This rare signed and numbered edition (99/100), published by Petersburg Press, London, represents one of Broodthaers' most celebrated contributions to the artist's book as an art form.
