Marcel Broodthaers, A Voyage on the North Sea

London, Petersburg Press, 1973. Softcover, 15 x 17.5 cm, 38 uncut pp. (Broodthaers warns not to cut them). Offset printed in b/w and colour. English version.

Artists' book based on a film by Broodthaers, illustrated with the pairing of a late-nineteenth-century amateur painting of an archetypal European ship and a twentieth-century photograph of a pleasure boat against a modern urban backdrop. First of three language variations of the trade edition (English, German and French). Tiny spot on front cover, else a very good copy.
