Artist's book based on surrealist artist and dancer Hélène Vanel's manuscript.

A unique testimony to Duchamp's personality, to his relationship to his friends and to his works, and to the slow reception of his works in France and in the U.S.

As in mythological tales, the characters in Anne Van der Linden's paintings and drawings are mortals, animals, angels and demons, all coexisting in a lascivious Pandemonium. Vivid colors and rough strokes render well the grotesque essence of these bestial & erotic scenes whose symbolism could be compared to Frida Kahlo's surrealistic language.

First monograph on Californian artist / musician's surreal-oriented universe (collages, sculptures, costumes, performances, music, films and videos), with essays by Doug Harvey, Stéphanie Moisdon and a conversation between the artist and Mike Kelley.

Curiously enough, although Duchamp considered eroticism as the main topic of his work, no essay had really focused on that matter yet. This book collects the lectures of about twenty international art historians and critics during a symposium organized by Marc Décimo.

Marcel Duchamp met Lydie Sarazin-Levassor at the end of March 1927. On 7 June, they were married. Francis Picabia acted as a witness and the ceremony was filmed by Man Ray. On 25 January 1928, they divorced. Lydie Sarazin-Levassor tells the story of their marriage, presents us with “her” Marcel, and relates her encounters with Jacques Doucet, Constantin Brancusi, Henri-Pierre Roché, Man Ray and Kiki de Montparnasse, Jean Cocteau, the Ballets Russes, the Duchamp family, Jean Crotti, Mary Rumsey, Katherine Dreier and Robert Desnos, and describes the atmosphere at the Villons' (in Puteaux, just outside Paris), the Picabias' (at Mougins, in the South of France) and the Sarazin-Levassors' (in Étretat, on the Normandy coast).

Tristan Tzara (1896-1963) is the poet through whom Dada arrived. In Zurich, he animated the Cabaret Voltaire with Hugo Ball; in Paris, he then inspired some surrealists in the making. If he was a great lover of Villon and Rabelais, his poetry is as iconoclastic as the music of Nurse With Wound, who composed for this edition of Minuits pour géants an unpublished piece lasting about ten minutes: On the Edge of the Outside.

Originally released by Multhipla Records, The Entire Musical Work of Marcel Duchamp is a collection of experimental pieces composed in 1913 by the legendary artist, and executed by Petr Kotik and the S.E.M. Ensemble in 1976. Employing chance operations and non-musical sounds, Marcel Duchamp's musical oeuvre predated some radical concepts developed forty years later by John Cage.
