Marcel Broodthaers

Un jardin d'hiver (A Winter Garden) (V. 42)

"Un jardin d'hiver" (V. 42) is a signed and numbered limited edition work by Marcel Broodthaers, produced through a collaborative publishing effort between the Société des Expositions in Brussels and Petersburg Press in London. The artist's deliberate use of red ink for both the initials on the opening page and the numbered colophon (4 of 120 copies) emphasizes the work's status as a carefully controlled, documented edition. This publication exemplifies Broodthaers' conceptual approach to art objects and his engagement with the materiality and presentation of the book as an artistic medium.

Medium
Signed with initials in red ink on the first page, further signed with initials and numbered 4/120 in red ink on the colophon, co-published by Société des Expositions, Brussels, and Petersburg Press, London.
