Marcel Broodthaers

Les animaux de la ferme (Farm Animals) (V. 22)

Marcel Broodthaers' "Les animaux de la ferme (Farm Animals) (V. 22)" is a two-sheet work from his conceptually driven practice, with the right sheet bearing the artist's initials and dated and numbered as part of a limited edition of 120 published by Edition Staeck in Heidelberg. The work exemplifies Broodthaers' characteristic engagement with language, representation, and the materiality of the artwork itself, reflecting his broader exploration of how meaning is constructed through text and image. As a framed piece with publisher's documentation preserved on the reverse, it demonstrates the artist's interest in the institutional frameworks and presentation conventions that frame artistic meaning.

Medium
The right-hand sheet signed with initials in pencil, both dated and numbered 20/120 in pencil, published by Edition Staeck, Heidelberg, Germany (with their inkstamp on the reverse), both framed.
