W : Two volumes in a slipcase: facsimile and supplement. - Quote from Jason Farago: 'He first declared a bicycle wheel to be a work of art in 1913, but it took nearly half a century with the 1959 publication of Robert Lebel s catalogue raisonné of his early painting, his ready-mades and his cryptic notes for the New York art world to crown the discreet and debonair Duchamp as King Marcel. 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.'.…

Illustrations. ****************** Présentation éditeur : "" Fac-similé de la première monographie consacrée à Marcel Duchamp, parue en 1959. Une initiation à l' uvre et à la personnalité d'un artiste doublée d'une reconsidération de la situation du peintre dans la société contemporaine et d'une analyse approfondie des mobiles de l'activité créatrice. Mise en page par Duchamp lui-même, avec ses propres textes, des textes d'André Breton et Henri-Pierre Roché et de très nombreuses illustrations, cette édition comprend une bibliographie et un catalogue raisonné de l'ensemble de son uvre. Comment le Nu descendant un Escalier, banni des Indépendants de 1912 devient l'année suivante, à l'Armory Show de New York, le tableau le plus célèbre de l'époque ? Comment Marcel Duchamp, recherché et fêté en Amérique, vit indifférent à tout succès commercial ? Comment ayant travaillé huit ans à son uvre monumentale le Grand Verre, il cessa de peindre sans renoncer pour autant à exercer son influence décisive ? Autant de problèmes brûlants sans l'élucidation desquels l'Art Moderne ne saurait être vraiment compris et qui étaient, jusqu'ici, demeurés sans réponse."" *********************** réf fav-02-06 réf 234 (1/2)srm réf 492.…

'Clock in Profile (1964) is a pliage of stiff paper with a central circle that can be folded so that the piece can stand upright. It was intended to be incorporated into the numbered edition of Robert Lebel's book La Double Vue Suivi de l'Inventeur du Temps Gratuit. Duchamp's three-dimensional materialization of the concept of l'Inventeur du Temps Gratuit ('The Inventor of Free Time') is described in Note 73 of the Notes and Projects: 'The Clock in Profile. / and the Inspector of Space'. The title of Lebel's book plays on the assonance of vue (vision) and vie (life) . Lebel, an intimate friend of Duchamp's and author of the first pioneering monograph on the artist, had published an imaginary biographical sketch of Duchamp, 'l'Inventeur du Temps Gratuit' in 1957. This, plus an equally imaginary autobiographical novel, became La Double Vue . Lebel's and Duchamp's conception of time seems to share the most ancient and universal desire of the alchemist (and of man), for the mastery of time implies the possibility of remaining eternally young.'

In their Realistic Manifesto, Moscow, 1920, Naum Gabo and his brother Antoine Pevsner first coined the term 'kinetic art' of which the earliest instance was perhaps Marcel Duchamp's 1913 sculpture, Bicycle Wheel.
