Marcel Broodthaers's "La pipe – Modèle: La pipe" engages with conceptual art and linguistic play by presenting the object of a pipe alongside its textual representation, echoing Magritte's famous "La Trahison des images." The work exemplifies Broodthaers's interest in the relationship between visual forms and language, questioning how meaning is constructed through the interplay of image and word. Created during the 1960s, this piece reflects the artist's broader exploration of semiotics and representation that characterized his career.
