DUCHAMP’S YOUNG MAN AND GIRL IN SPRING. 1968.

Milano: Ugo Carrega/American Image,  1968

23 x 15.5cm, 14pp plus card covers. Stapled. An official offprint of Scwatz’s essay on Duchamp’s pre-dada 1911 painting “Young Man and Girl in Spring” written in English with two b/w imaged (one of the painting)  which was originally published in AMerican Imago Vol 25, Nr 4 in Winter 1968. Card wrappers are a bit browned near spine and top else VG+. Scarce and important text in which Schwarz suggests incestual feelings by Duchamp towards his sister Suzzanne alongside some hints at Alchemy (the former theory later becoming the most credible reading of the Large Glass, the alchemical interpretation much less so).
