Complete catalogue raisonné of the works of Marcel Duchamp, compiled and written by Arturo Schwarz. Includes over 780 illustrations in color and in black and white. "This book [when published], which may well remain the definitive work of Duchamp, was created and designed over a period of many years by Arturo Schwarz, the author, working in close collaboration with the artist." The book in divided into three parts -- the first addresses the artist's early works, including his Ready-mades and optical works as well as biographical information; the second is devoted to, "The Bride Laid Bare by Her Bachelors", the piece which Schwarz positions as the focal point of Duchamp's oeuvre; the third section is devoted to source material followed by a "Topographical Index of Duchamp's Works and a comprehensive Descriptive Bibliography of Marcel Duchamp's Writings, Lectures, Translations and Interviews." -- quotes taken from book's dust-jacket.
