Documents more than seventy books and works on paper by the Belgian poet and conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaers from the Schmidt collection. With texts by Viola Hildebrandt-Schat and Anne Thurman-Jajes.

Marcel Broodthaers worked primarily as a poet until 1963, when for the last twelve years of his life he made a richly varied, elusive, and influential body of work. The work he created in this albeit too brief time period was enormously influential to future generations of artists. Known for his associations in which he explores the nature and meaning of language, word and image, and rhetoric, his work encompasses poetry, writing, books, film, photography, slides, drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Marcel Broodthaers: Dichter en kunstenaar / Poet and artist at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 24 February–9 May, 2015. An exhibition of more than seventy books and works on paper by the Belgian poet and conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaers from the Schmidt collection, together with some of the works from the Van Abbemuseum collection.

Known primarily for his experimental cinema and pictorial works, Paul Sharits developed an oeuvre that evolved around two central themes: one, closely related to music and the world of abstraction, the other, within the psychological and emotional arena of the figurative. This complete monograph explores the connections between these two practices, and in addition provides a general introduction to a remarkable body of work. Illustrated throughout, the monograph also includes several essays, texts by Sharits and interviews.

With texts by Yann Beauvais, Bill Brand, Edwin Carels, Rosalind Krauss, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Wieslaw Michalak, Annette Michelson, Józef Robakowski, Keith Sanborn and Paul Sharits.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ronald Jones: 1987–1992, at the Grazer Kunstverein, 27 September–23 November 2014, curated by Jason Dodge and Krist Gruijthuijsen. With texts by Ronald Jones, Peter Halley and Angie Keefer.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ronald Jones at the San Jose Museum of Art, February 10–April 22, 1990. With texts from I. Michael Danoff and Peter Halley.

Ronald Jones gained prominence in New York during the mid-1980s by using disparate formal and minimal languages to explore history as a medium. Through juxtapositions of historical events, innovations, discoveries, violence and fear, he explores the complex interrelation of events as they define our perception of ourselves and the world often through connecting seemingly unrelated occurrences.
