Marcel Duchamp: The Making of the Book

Sixty-one years after the first and only publication in English of ‘Marcel Duchamp,’ the definitive monograph of the artist’s work, created collaboratively by Duchamp and his close friend Robert Lebel, the book is now reemerging for a new public, perhaps the one that Duchamp (1887-1968) so patiently awaited.
This short documentary film chronicles the painstaking, letter-by-letter process that went into Hauser & Wirth Publisher's project of republishing the monograph in an edition faithful to both the spirit and the physical object of the original, the culmination of years of efforts by the artist Jean-Jacques Lebel, Robert Lebel’s son, to bring the influential and increasingly rare English edition back into the world.
