A meticulous facsimile of the legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonné, originally conceived in 1959 by Marcel Duchamp in collaboration with Robert Lebel, back in print after decades.

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.

Reviews for Marcel Duchamp

"A comprehensive and penetrating study of the artist: from his early painting, subsequent farewell to painting, to his fixation on the fetish.--Harriet Lloyd-Smith ""Wallpaper*"" Long out of print, it's now been re-editioned and bundled with a supplement that maps the influence of Lebel's book over the decades, all housed in a handsome slipcase.--Jason Farago ""New York Times"""
