Marcel Duchamp

A meticulous facsimile of the legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonn, originally conceived in 1959 by Marcel Duchamp in collaboration with Robert Lebel, back in print after decades. Marcel Duchamp, the artists first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonn, was written by art historian and novelist Robert Lebel and published in French in 1959; later that same year, it was translated into English by George Heard Hamilton for Grove Press. The book was a cooperation between Lebel and Duchamp, and beyond Lebels extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roch and Andr Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamps artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artists life and inner circle. For the first time since its release more than 60 years ago, this landmark publication is back in circulation with Hauser & Wirth Publishers meticulous facsimile of the English edition, reflecting everything from its hand-tipped images to its recto-verso dust jacket appearing as close to the original as possible.
