Bread & Work! is a work by the British artist and sculptor Baldrick Buckle. It was exhibited at the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam in 2007. It consisted of 2,600 loaves of unsliced and unpackaged bread. Although Buckle was relatively unknown at the time, the work gained significant popularity among both the art community and general public, which led to an article being published in De Telegraaf, a Dutch national newspaper. This article proved to be a significant development in his early career and led directly to his (ultimately unsuccessful) relocation to New York.

Famous quotes containing the word bread:
“Such is the labor which the American Congress exists to protect,—honest, manly toil,—honest as the day is long,—that makes his bread taste sweet, and keeps society sweet,—which all men respect and have consecrated; one of the sacred band, doing the needful but irksome drudgery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
