Le manuscrit trouvé dans une bouteille (The Manuscript Found in a Bottle) (V. 20)
This work by Marcel Broodthaers is a signed and numbered print from a limited edition of 120, produced by the Berlin publisher Edition René Block. The piece references Edgar Allan Poe's famous short story of the same title, continuing Broodthaers' conceptual engagement with literature and the materiality of language as artistic subjects. The delicate tissue paper support and modest inscription in blue ink exemplify the artist's understated approach to printmaking and his interest in questioning the boundaries between text, object, and artwork.
