Coffee Mill etching for Du Cubisme

Signed by MARCEL DUCHAMP in plate at lower left.

after 1947

Cancelled plate impression numbered in pencil. No. 195 of 200.
Matte size: 12" x 9". Plate size 7" x 3-1/8".

This image has an interesting and rather involved history within Duchamps' oeuvre. It began as a painting (oil on cardboard) which Duchamp created for his brother Raymond Duchamp-Villion's kitchen in Neuilly, France in November and December of 1911 (ill. in Schwarz, cat. no. 178; the painting is now in the collection of The Tate Gallery, London). In 1912, Duchamp's other brother, the sculptor Jacques Villon, made an etching after the painting which was reproduced as a photogravure in the Cubist manifesto "Du Cubisme" by Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger, Eugene Figuiere et Cie, Paris. In 1947, "Du Cubisme" was republished in a limited edition of 455 copies with eleven original etchings, including the Coffee Mill. Subsequently, a cancelled edition of the Coffee Mill etching numbering 200 was issued, of which this is impression no. 195.
