Title: Marcel Duchamp (6 April-2 May 1959)
Author: (DUCHAMP, Marcel)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
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).”.

Title: Effect of Earthquake + Fire on San Francisco, Apr. 18/06. [Series of Thirty-One Original Photographs Taken by an Unknown Photographer]
Author: [San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906] Photographer Unknown
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Description: San Francisco, 1906. Thirty-one silver gelatin prints, measuring 4 x 3 inches, with four accompanying sheets measuring 8 x 5 ½ inches identifying the images. Also included is the original envelope to an illegible recipient, or possibly crediting the images. Fading to images else about fine, very good minus overall. Many photographers, amateur and professional alike, took to the streets of San Francisco to document devastation caused by the earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. Collected here are thirty-one images taken by one such photographer - likely an amateur based on the image quality and perspectives. What is unusual about the collection here is that the photographer took meticulous notes on each image, and the images as found in a (rather illegible) envelope included several sheets explaining the location of each image. The photographer travelled through most of downtown, with varied locations represented. The title is likely misleading, as the fire raged for several days and the pictures were likely taken several days after the 18th of April. The envelope has the name “Mrs H. Thof illegible],” which suggests that perhaps the photographer was a woman, or possibly that these were given to the same as a gift by another photographer. Overall a scarce survival of images, of which we find no other copies.
