Inhaltsangabe

‘Marcel Duchamp’ 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. It’s Duchamp’s seminal book―his first monograph―and the culmination of many years of his collaboration with its author, art historian and critic Robert Lebel. The two became friends in the time Lebel spent questioning and studying Duchamp―a relationship that resulted in a comprehensive, erudite analysis of Duchamp’s oeuvre and the first draft of the artist’s catalogue raisonné. To this day, the book’s texts, which include chapters authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roché, and André Breton, remain fresh, as does the book’s design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimates ‘Marcel Duchamp’ with its faithful reproduction of the 1959 Grove Press edition with the design firm fluid, who recreated the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as they were in the original.
 The facsimile of the historic English edition is presented in slipcase with a supplement edited by Jean-Jacques Lebel and Association Marcel Duchamp. The supplement features texts and archival material, including a newly discovered note by Man Ray, that stitch together the story of Duchamp and Lebel’s close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a ‘sea change in the artist’s receptivity to critical interpretation.’

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Marcel Duchamp, the artist's first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonné, 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 Lebel's extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roché and André Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamp's artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artist's 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.

Fully authorized by artist Jean-Jacques Lebel--Robert Lebel's son--and the Association Marcel Duchamp, the facsimile is accompanied by a supplement volume of essays and archival material that tells the story of Duchamp and Lebel's close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a sea change in the artist's receptivity to critical interpretation. The supplement includes texts by both Robert and Jean-Jacques Lebel and a newly discovered note by Man Ray, among a bevy of photographs from the Lebel and Duchamp archives, extending the story presented in the 1959 edition.

Robert Lebel's analysis of Duchamp's oeuvre remains fresh to this day, as does the book's design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimated Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial-design firm fluid, who recast the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as it was in the original. To achieve a near-exact facsimile, fluid consulted with paper conservators and printers to recreate the book with modern materials that match those available in 1959. This precise production quality assures that today's readers will experience this historic book as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel intended.
