Duchamp's historic 1959 catalogue raisonnà -cum-artist's book, superbly designed by the artist, now back in print in a facsimile editionIn 1959, French art critic and collector Robert Lebel published Sur Marcel Duchamp, a catalogue raisonnà of Duchamp's works between 1902 and 1958 and the first monograph published on the work of the legendary artist. Lebel and Duchamp, lifelong friends, worked closely together over a period of six years to bring the book to fruition; Duchamp was so active in developing the conception and layout of the book that Sur Marcel Duchamp is often considered part of the artist's body of work. The result is an appropriately complex, genre-bending publication that is both scholarly catalogue raisonnà and artist's book, a book that functions simultaneously as an accessible introduction to the artist's esoteric thinking and a further wrinkle in Duchamp's perplexing puzzle of an oeuvre. An English translation, executed by George Heard Hamilton, was released later in 1959. Now, Hauser & Wirth Publishers is issuing a new facsimile of the historic English edition of Sur Marcel Duchamp. The original English edition is faithfully reproduced here, with a supplemental volume, edited by Jean-Jacques Lebel and Antoine Monnier, featuring texts and archival material that detail the close collaboration between Duchamp and Lebel. This essential publication brings the English translation of Sur Marcel Duchamp back into print and tells the fascinating story of its creation. French American artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) moved through postimpressionism and cubism before embracing a dadaist rejection of painting and what he termed 'retinal art,' devoting himself to the pursuit of an art 'in the service of the mind.' His readymades radically redefined art and the artist's role in the 20th century, laying the groundwork for the postwar development of conceptual art. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

The esteemed Nobel Prize-winning poet offers a portrait of Marcel Duchamp as a great cautionary figure in public culture, citing the philosopher's influential beliefs about spiritual freedom and the encroachment of criticism, science, and art in today's world. Reprint.

Marcel Duchamp - La Peinture Meme (French Edition)

As this century draws to a close, it becomes increasingly clear how profoundly the elusive life and art of Marcel Duchamp have influenced the trajectory of modern art. Duchamp seems to have been one of those rare people with the ability to foreshadow the future, and ever since 1913, when his "Nude Descending a Staircase" created a sensation at the Armory Show in New York, his prophetic vision, his statements and his works have indicated new terrain in which artists could operate. The works Duchamp produced after his precocious and much-publicised retirement from "retinal" art, as early as 1922, have provided the springboard for a number of movements and tendencies in art since the 1950s: conceptual art, art-language, multi-media art, happenings and performance art. Duchamp's field of action was one where language, thought and vision acted upon one author, yet he had no messianic pretensions and summarised his attitudes as "Doubt in myself, doubt in everything, in the first place never believing in truth." This publication contains numerous newly researched documents, both written and visual.

By his own testimony, Marcel Duchamp considered painting a "means of expression, not an end in itself. One means of expression among others, and not a complete end for life at all." His legendary "Large Glass," for example, can be seen as simply the culmination or sum of numerous experiments conducted over an eight-year period. For this reason, every aspect of his oeuvre--painting, installation, writing, interviews--is of potentially equivalent interest, and any Duchamp primer needs to present his more ephemeral contributions, in aphorisms, diagrams and conversation, alongside his visual experiments. Works, Writings, Interviews does this job splendidly, exploring the artist's many-faceted activities, analyzing his work as an entirety and gathering his key interviews and writings.

Marcel Duchamp - La Peinture Meme (French Edition)

A groundbreaking reading of Duchamp's work as informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices identifying creative energy with the erotic impulse.Considered by many to be the most important artist of the twentieth century, the object of intensive critical scrutiny and extensive theorizing, Marcel Duchamp remains an enigma. He may be the most intellectual artist of all time; and yet, toward the end of his life, he said, “If you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual or cerebral.” In Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life, Jacquelynn Baas offers a groundbreaking new reading of Duchamp, arguing in particular that his work may have been informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices that identify creative energy with the erotic impulse. Duchamp drew on a wide range of sources for his art, from science and mathematics to alchemy. Largely overlooked, until now, have been Asian spiritual practices, including Indo-Tibetan tantra. Baas presents evidence that Duchamp's version of artistic realization was grounded in a western interpretation of Asian mind training and body energetics designed to transform erotic energy into mental and spiritual liberation. She offers close readings of many Duchamp works, beginning and ending with his final work, the mysterious, shockingly explicit Étant donnés: 1° la chute d'eau 2° le gaz d'éclairage, (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas).Generously illustrated, with many images in color, Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life speculates that Duchamp viewed art making as part of an esoteric continuum grounded in Eros. It asks us to unlearn what we think we know, about both art and life, in order to be open to experience.

This monograph on Duchamp’s Porte-bouteilles, or Bottle Rack, presents the Porte-bouteilles from Robert Rauschenberg’s collection along with ephemera around the readymade. With an inventory of Duchamp’s Porte-bouteilles, it also analyzes Duchamp’s influence on Rauschenberg.
