Review:

Broodthaers created his own context for experiencing his work. This expansive and generously illustrated catalog, which accompanied a recent retrospective, is useful for gaining a better understanding of this mysterious and multifarious artist, whose productions and preoccupations have become increasingly central to the history of modern art. (Jeff Jackson Fanzine)

MOMA’s near-definitive account of the work of Broodthaers was a standout among standouts, providing a rare opportunity to consider firsthand the labyrinthine imagination of the twentieth century’s most elusive and enigmatic artist-poet. (Matthew Higgs Artforum, Best of 2016)

(Tom McGlynn Brooklyn Rail)

[An] all-around provocateur who parodied the institutional qualities of a museum by creating one of his own... Acute awareness of the creative process... informs Broodthaers's entire oeuvre. (Albert Mobilio Bookforum)

clarifying... [it is] ambivalence, rather than militancy, that sets Broodthaers apart. (Chloe Wyman Artspace)

gives the breadth of his art room to breathe. (Ben Davis Artnet.com)

Broodthaers at his closest to poetry looks both ways, caught between love of the past and fear of the present. (John Haber Haber's Art Reviews)
