First Edition. Duchamp designed this cover using a reproduction of his readymade 'Comb' and an image of the journal's masthead. The same reproduction (but without the 'Transition' masthead) is included in all copies of 'The Box in a Valise,' 1941. According to Sylvia Beach, James Joyce told her jokingly that "the comb with thick teeth shown on this cover was the one used to comb out "Work in Progress," (Schwarz). Some wear to wrapper extremities, else fine.

PABLO PICASSO
HUGNET, Georges



PICASSO
, Pablo. Four Pamphlets. Pablo Picasso.// Non Vouloir. // Au "Dépens des mots." // Marcel Duchamp. By Georges Hugnet. Complete set of all four "butterfly books." Together four volumes, oblong 16mo., 96 x 146 mm, each one folded as issued in original printed self-wrappers. Preserved in a beige linen folding box. Paris: [The Author], 1940-1941.

The complete set, an astonishing survival: each pamphlet or "butterfly book" was limited to just 200 copies. These pamphlets were all clandestinely printed at the beginning of the German occupation, and were only distributed among close friends of the poet. The ode to Marcel Duchamp is illustrated with a single tipped-in print of the " Moustache and Beard of L.H.O.O.Q." -- arguably the cornerstone of Dadaism -- in which Duchamp's original metal stencil was applied in graphite on paper by pochoir: "Like the smile of the Cheshire Cat, Duchamp's graffiti additions to the Mona Lisa now hover in space" (d'Harnoncourt & McShine, p. 304). "The stencil was originally made for the addition of those details to the reproduction of L.H.O.O.Q. in The Box in a Valise" (Bonk, p. 241). " Au Dépens des mots" is illustrated with a reproduction of a drawing by Valentine Hugo. The entire collection is preserved in the freshest possible condition.

DUCHAMP, MARCEL



DUCHAMP,
Marcel. Le Surréalisme en 1947. 139, [3] pp. Illustrated with original prints throughout. 4to., 230 x 200 mm., bound in original plain paper wrappers, preserved in folding linen box. Paris: Maeght, 1947.

First Edition. Limited to 999 copies; contains 24 original hors texte prints: 5 colour lithographs (Bauer, Ernst, Hérold, Lam, Miro), 4 etchings (Jean, Maria, Tanguy, Tanning), 1 colour etching (Bellmer), 2 wood engravings (Arp) and 12 lithographs (Brignoni, Calder, Capacci, Damme, Diego, Donati, Hare, Lamba, Matta, Sage, Tanguy, Toyen). Plus a further 44 reproductive plates of the myriad aspects of this famous exhibition.

The 1947 exhibition celebrated the return of the exiles after the war. It became a retrospective of the movement organized by Duchamp and Breton. Although the exhibition took place in Paris, it was international in scope with participants from several countries. Recently the work was featured in an exhibition of surrealist books at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

This copy is in its original plain wrappers, and without the photographic wrapper reproducing the foam rubber breast for which the catalue is best known. A few copies of the catalogue were housed in a cardboard slipcase on which was mounted Marcel Duchamp's celebrated foam rubber breast.
