Est: $3,000 - $4,000
MARCEL DUCHAMP (1887-1968) DADA 1916 - 1923 / SIDNEY JANIS. 1953. 37½x25¼ inches, 95¼x64¼ cm. Condition A-: minor restoration at edges and along unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; slight darkening in image. "The Dada catalogue took its place among Duchamp's unique publishing events. Designed as a poster on a 25-by-38-inch sheet of thin, foldable parchment paper, it listed all 212 items and included four short essays by Arp, Tzara, Huelsenbeck and Levesque. These essays were set in blocks of contrasting type running diagonally down the sheet - a text descending a staircase. Duchamp then overprinted the whole page in a bright red-orange, announcing the exhibition with letters that recall original Dada typography. When the painstakingly-produced catalogue was finally received, Duchamp, it has been reported, took a sheet in his hands, crushed it into a loose ball, and suggested that a trash can full of these paper balls be offered to visitors entering the vernissage. Duchamp, characteristically, did not attend the opening" (Caroll Janis, Art in America June-July, 2006).

Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) French, Framed Etching For Du Cubisme
Est: $200 - $400
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) French, Framed Etching For Du Cubisme. Du Cubisme (translated as On Cubism) is a book written in 1912 by Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger. It was the first major text on Cubism, illustrated with black and white photographs of works by Paul Cézanne, Gleizes, Metzinger, Fernand Léger, Juan Gris, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, André Derain, and Marie Laurencin. Signature in print bottom right. Label with information on the back. Overall Size: 11 x 14 1/2 in. Sight Size: 3 x 7 in. #8520 Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp was born in 1887 in Normandy, France. His siblings all became successful artists: Jacques a painter and printmaker, Raymond a sculptor, and Suzanne a painter. While attending Lycée Pierre-Corneille in Rouen he won two mathematics prizes and two prizes for drawing. His academic art lessons came from a teacher who attempted to “protect” his students from Impressionism, but his watercolor portraits and landscapes quickly aligned with Post-Impressionist styles. He studied art at the Académie Julian for a year, during which he drew and sold cartoons which reflected his ribald humor in verbal and visual puns. In 1905 he began his compulsory military service with the 39th Infantry Regiment, working for a printer in Rouen where he learned typography and the printing processes. Jacques, who was studying at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, got Duchamp’s work exhibited in the 1908 Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Indépendants. Fauves and proto-Cubism began to influence his paintings, and he became a regular at a discussion group hosted by his brother for artists, poets, and writers which came to be known as the Puteaux Section d’Or. During this period Duchamp’s fascination with transition, change, movement, and distance became manifest, as well as an interest in more mechanical, “machinist” figural depictions. He exhibited a few more times with the Cubists in Spain and America, and his unique “Nude Descending a Staircase” was at the center of much controversy. His broad interests led him to put together an exhibition of aviation technology and sculpted bird forms influenced by them, but he withdrew completely from painting circles to work as a librarian in the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. He emigrated to the United States in 1915 after World War I began, and though he spoke little English his unconventional style had already made him a celebrity. He joined an artist colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey, where Louise and Walter Arensberg became his primary patrons and closest friends for the rest of his life, providing him a studio and the ability to work on whatever he wanted at his own leisure. Duchamp created the Société Anonyme in 1920 along with Katherine Dreier and Man Ray, which led to his involvement in art dealing and collecting. His female alter ego, “Rrose Sélavy,” emerged in 1921 in a series of photographs by Ray, and he frequently used the name to sign later creations. Duchamp became a key figure in the New York Dada movement, but when he returned to Paris in 1923 he was not involved with the European Dadaists. His magnum opus, “The Large Glass,” was a mixed media proto-Futurist piece encapsulating nearly all of his influences, and was his last major work until the late 1960s. From 1918 onward he became more and more obsessed with the game of chess, carving his own pieces and crafting an enigmatic endgame problem in 1943 which Grandmasters have grappled with ever since. Duchamp’s influence on the art world remained behind the scenes until the late 1950s, when he was “discovered” by young artists eager to escape the dominance of Abstract Expressionism. He was a co-founder of the international literary group Oulipo in 1960, and in 1963 the Pasadena Art Museum mounted his first retrospective exhibition, with numerous others at the Tate Gallery, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art since then. Duchamp died at his home in France in 1968, and many critics consider him to be one of the most important conceptual artists of the 20th Century, with a massive influence on most of the subsequent Western art that developed in the post-World War I world.

Noch weitgehend unbekannt, kauft Duchamp 1914 im Pariser Kaufhaus »Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville« einen gewöhnlichen Flaschentrockner und erklärt diesen durch seine Signatur zum Kunstwerk. Gemeinsam mit dem »Fahrrad-Rad« von 1913 zählt der »Flaschentrockner« zu den ersten Objekten, die von Duchamp im Nachhinein als »Ready-mades« bezeichnet werden.

About the artist/object: Marcel Duchamp is still one of the most important pioneers for a redefinition of art. Still largely unknown, Duchamp bought an ordinary bottle dryer in the Parisian department stores' "Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville" in 1914 and declared it a work of art with his signature. Together with the "Bicycle Wheel" from 1913, the "Bottle Dryer" is one of the first objects that Duchamp later referred to as "ready-mades". Duchamp revolutionised art history with the idea of declaring a found object to be a work of art.

Henri-Pierre Roché, Paris Privatsammlung Schweiz, durch Erbschaft an Privatsammlung Schweiz Henri-Pierre Roché Collection, Paris Private collection Switzerland, by inheritance to Private collection Switzerland Zustand / Condition Minim verblasst, mit einer Mittelfalte, oben und unten je ein alter Einriss, in sauberer Gesamterhaltung Minimally faded, with a centrefold, an old tear at the top and bottom, in overall good condition Erläuterungen / Comments Marcel Duchamp schuf diese Studie in Vorbereitung auf die Konstruktion der unteren Scheibe seiner kunstgeschichtlichen Ikone "La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même" (Das Grosse Glas), die 1915 bis 1923 realisiert wurde und sich heute im Philadelphia Museum of Art befindet. "Das Grosse Glas", wie das epochale Werk kurz genannt wird, ist in zwei Teile gegliedert: einen weiblichen oberen und einen männlichen unteren Teil, die durch horizontal geschichtete Glasplatten voneinander getrennt sind . Das Werk an sich ist ein komplexes Diagramm einer Art "Liebesmaschine", das auf Alchemie, Tarotkarten und christliche Symbolik verweist. Die ursprünglich als "Cimitière des uniformes et livrées" (Friedhof der Uniformen und Livrierten) betitelten 9 "moules malic" (wohl zu übersetzen als neun malische Formen) sind ein Element des unteren Teils, der als "Junggesellenapparat" bezeichnet wird. Es sind an hohle Schaufensterpuppen angelehnte Modelle traditionell männlicher Berufe, vom Polizisten über den Priester bis hin zum Pagen. Von den verschiedenen vorbereitenden Zeichnungen ist die hier angebotene wohl deshalb eine der bedeutendsten, weil Duchamp die Figuren eigenhändig bezeichnet hat. Er schrieb von links nach rechts zu den jeweiligen Figuren "Policeman", "Chef de gare", "Prêtre ", "Croque-mort ", "Chauffeur (boy)", "Livreur de grand magasin", "Larbin", "Gendarme", "Cuirassier", ferner steht oben rechts in vier Zeilen "9 Moules (formes) malics / surmontés d’un Réseau / de 9 stoppages / semblables". Was wir hier also vor uns haben, ist die genaue Definition dessen, was Duchamp intendierte. Später hat er die Figuren weiter ausgearbeitet und schliesslich auf das grosse Glas übertragen. Verso sind einige Figuren noch einmal sehr rudimentär angelegt, ausserdem hat Duchamp links oben "9 Formes / surmontés" geschrieben, zusätzlich steht links in roter Schrift etwas, was schwer zu lesen ist. Der Sammler Henri-Pierre Roché hat ebenfalls rückseitig unten links seine kurze Interpretation der Zeichnung notiert. Das hier angebotene Blatt ist ein ungemein wichtiges Dokument für die Erarbeitung eines der Hauptwerke Duchamps. So frühe Zeichnungen des Meisters zum Thema sind äusserst selten. Marcel Duchamp created this study in preparation for the construction of the lower pane of his art-historical icon "La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même" (The Large Glass), which was realised between 1915 and 1923 and is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. "The Large Glass", as the epochal work is known for short, is divided into two parts: a female upper part and a male lower part, which are separated by horizontally layered glass panels. The work itself is a complex diagram of a kind of "love machine" that references alchemy, tarot cards and Christian symbolism. Originally entitled "Cimitière des uniformes et livrées" (Cemetery of uniforms and liveries), the 9 "moules malic" (probably to be translated as nine malic forms) are an element of the lower part, which is described as a "bachelor's apparatus". They are models of traditionally male professions based on hollow mannequins, from policeman to priest to bellboy. Of the various preparatory drawings, the one offered here is probably one of the most important because Duchamp labelled the figures in his own hand. From left to right, he wrote "Policeman", "Chef de gare", "Prêtre ", "Croque-mort ", "Chauffeur (boy)", "Livreur de grand magasin", "Larbin", "Gendarme", "Cuirassier" next to the respective figures, as well as "9 Moules (formes) malics / surmontés d'un Réseau / de 9 stoppages / semblables" in four lines at the top right. What we have here is the exact definition of what Duchamp intended. He later elaborated on the figures and finally transferred them to the large glass. On the reverse, some of the figures are once again very rudimentary, and Duchamp has also written "9 Formes / surmontés" at the top left, as well as something that is difficult to read in red lettering on the left. The collector Henri-Pierre Roché has also noted his brief interpretation of the drawing on the reverse at the bottom left. The sheet offered here is an extremely important document for the development of one of Duchamp's major works. Such early drawings by the master on this subject are extremely rare.
