Description
One black & white illus., text printed in many colors. Long folding sheet (222 x 164 mm. folded). New York: Sidney Janis Gallery, 1959. The appealing invitation for Marcel Duchamp’s 1959 exhibition at Sidney Janis’s gallery, we locate just a handful of examples in American institutions. The opening was also the American launch of Robert Lebel’s Sur Marcel Duchamp published by Trianon Press. Text from the invitation announcement: “This exhibition coincides with the publication of the first definitive book to appear on the work of Marcel Duchamp and presents original paintings and objects by the artist. Documentary material relating to the book and the book itself in both deluxe and regular editions will also be on view.” On 12 April 1959 Howard Devree of the New York Times wrote: “Although Marcel Duchamp’s celebrated multiple nude on the staircase was a center of distraction in the Armory Show of 1913 and his work has been seen in many surrealist and dada exhibitions over the years, it has remained for Sidney Janis to give what is said to be the first one-man show devoted to Duchamp. It has been arranged coincidentally with the publication of an elaborate catalogue raisonne, the first definitive book on Duchamp, describing and reproducing every one of his paintings, drawings and constructions, together with many personal photographs and with contributions in the text by Andre Breton and others. The gallery show draws heavily on this material and includes the famous valise for transporting reproductions. And the noted staircase nude is accompanied by an equivalent dynamic photograph of Duchamp—clothed—for good measure.” Based on a typewritten note found in the “Duchamp Research Portal” (collection no.: MAR_B044_F017_004), the Philadelphia Museum of Art loaned the following artworks from the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection to Janis’s exhibition: Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 3 (1916), The Bride (1912), and the first study for Cemetery of Uniforms and Liveries (1913). In excellent condition. We have located catalogued copies of this invitation at the following institutions: Art Institute of Chicago, Princeton, Southern Methodist, Kunsthaus Zürich, Buffalo AKG Art Museum, and The Menil Collection. || M. Affron, M. Kuo, & A. Temkin, eds., Marcel Duchamp (2026), p. 51–“To celebrate the release of [Sur Marcel Duchamp], Sidney Janis Gallery presents an exhibition of Duchamp’s work—his first solo show at a commercial gallery (April 6-May 2).”.

Description
Washington, D.C.: Counterpoint, (2002). First Edition. Octavo, burgundy & tan boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, xx + 327 pp. Fine in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: The Art of the Commonplace gathers twenty-one essays by Wendell Berry that offer an agrarian alternative to our dominant urban culture. Grouped around five themes -- geobiography, an agrarian critique of culture, agrarian fundamentals, agrarian economics, and agrarian religion -- these essays promote a clearly defined vision that is compelling and of interest to people dissatisfied with the stress, anxiety, ill-health, and destructiveness of contemporary American culture. Readers will find in these illuminating essays discussions on such questions as: why is agriculture becoming culturally irrelevant, and at what cost? What are the forces of social disintegration and how might they be reversed? How might men and women live together in ways that are to the benefit of both? And, how does the corporate takeover of social institutions and economic practices contribute to the destruction of human and natural environments? Whether it be through his staunch support of local economies, his defense of farming communities, or his call for family integrity, Berry emerges as the champion of responsibilities and priorities that serve the health, vitality and happiness of the whole community of creation.
