Marcel Duchamp. Hauser & Wirth Publishers 2021

‘Marcel Duchamp’ (Two volumes in a slipcase: facsimile and supplement) became the go-to book on the artist for many decades following its publication in late 1959, when exclusive grand-deluxe and deluxe editions in French, along with trade editions in French and English, were simultaneously released. While Trianon Press’s French trade edition was reprinted numerous times, the Grove Press English edition languished out of print for the better part of two generations—until now, with Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ fully authorized facsimile re-edition.

Marcel Duchamp. Pittore francese (Blainville, Rouen, 1887 – Neuilly-sur-Seine 1968), fratello di J. Villon e di R. Duchamp-Villon. Tra i maggiori artisti del Novecento europeo, influenzò l’arte d’avanguardia e anticipò molti movimenti artistici del secondo dopoguerra. È autore di opere provocatorie, come il Nu descendant un escalier n. 2 (1912), che quando fu presentato suscitò grande scandalo.
