Summary:

Hauser & Wirth Publishers is releasing a facsimile of the English edition with a supplement edited by Jean-Jacques Lebel and Association Marcel Duchamp. The supplement features texts and archival material that tell 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 contains more than sixty archival images, many of which have never been published before, that share a portrait of Duchamp and his inner circle. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimates Marcel Duchamp with its 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.
