White Cube

In 2013, the Belgian artist Brecht Vandenbroucke launched White Cube for the German publisher avant-verlag, a single-issue comic that distills his signature deadpan, minimal linework into a wry meditation on the absurdities of the art world. Set in the sterile gallery spaces of its title, the book follows a series of silent, vignette-like encounters that skewer pretension and commodification with surgical precision. Though brief, this standalone work has become a sharp, cult-favorite critique of contemporary art culture, showcasing Vandenbroucke’s distinctive ability to say volumes with the sparest of drawings.
