Marcel Broodthaers, Eine Reise auf der Nordsee

Cologne and London, Verlag M. Dumont Schauberg and Petersburg Press, 1973. Softcover, 15 x 17.5 cm, 38 uncut pp. (with a warning from the artist not to cut them). Offset printed in b/w and colour. German 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. Second of three language variations of the trade edition (English, German and French). Light trace of sticker on back cover, otherwise a very good copy.
