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:
“Our bread need not ever be sour or hard to digest. What Nature is to the mind she is also to the body. As she feeds my imagination, she will feed my body; for what she says she means, and is ready to do. She is not simply beautiful to the poet’s eye. Not only the rainbow and sunset are beautiful, but to be fed and clothed, sheltered and warmed aright, are equally beautiful and inspiring. There is not necessarily any gross and ugly fact which may not be eradicated from the life of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
