Marcel DUCHAMP (1887-1968)
La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même. Paris : Éditions Rrose Sélavy, 1934

Bel exemplaire de la première boîte éditée par Rrose Sélavy, alter-ego féminin de Marcel Duchamp créé avec Man Ray. Man Ray est celui qui a immortalisé la naissance de l'alter ego féminin de Marcel Duchamp, Rrose Sélavy, à travers une photo énigmatique prise en 1921. Le portrait montre Duchamp travesti, et ce dernier, sans doute fasciné par ce nouvel avatar retouchera lui-même le tirage. Ce double suivra Duchamp toute sa vie et c'est son nom que l'artiste utilisera pour l'édition de sa boîte verte et des boîtes-en-valise qui suivront. Schwarz, II, 435. L'authenticité de cette œuvre a été confirmée par l'Association Marcel Duchamp. Un certificat sera remis à l'acquéreur.

Édition originale. 93 fac-similés de documents de différents formats et une planche en couleurs, Neuf moules mâlic. Tirage limité à 320 exemplaires, celui-ci numéroté 271, daté et signé par l’artiste à l'encre rouge "Marcel Duchamp Paris 1934" à l’intérieur de l’emboîtage. Emboîtage vert de l’éditeur (325 x 271 x 20 mm), portant le titre sur le premier plat et le nom de l’artiste au dos (les reproductions d'oeuvre contrecollées sur papier cartonné sont décollées, charnières partiellement fendues, dos passé).
