Rare Limited Edition of Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Trafico de Divisas’ Ready Made

About the Item

Rare Limited Edition of Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Trafico de Divisas’ Ready Made Own a piece of avant-garde art history with this rare limited edition replica of the ready-made ‘Trafico de Divisas’ by Marcel Duchamp. This extraordinary piece originates from the extremely rare art publication Negre + Rose, ‘Les horse Catalanes de Marcel Duchamp,’ published in 1979. Handsigned and numbered, this limited edition consists of only 250 copies. The artwork features two cardboard cheques (front and back) or promissory notes, pink on both sides, mounted on black cardboard as originally published. One of the cheques is signed by Duchamp in offset print, while the other is signed in offset by Peter Harnden and additionally bears the handwritten phrase and signature of Franco Bombelli. This artwork is a result of the ironic collaboration between Harnden, Bombelli, and Duchamp. Harnden and Bombelli were both prominent figures in the art and architecture world, with Harnden's influence stemming from collaborations with architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, and Bombelli’s legacy rooted in his architectural and artistic contributions in Cadaqués, a hub for 20th-century avant-garde artists. The piece is elegantly framed in a high-quality black lacquered wooden frame, highlighted by a distinctive pink background. The frame dimensions are D 3 cm x W 31.5 cm x H 41.5 cm. Ideal for collectors of fine art, admirers of Marcel Duchamp’s work, or anyone looking to introduce a unique and historically significant piece into their space, this framed ready-made is a striking focal point that embodies the innovative spirit of the Dada movement. Celebrate the enduring legacy of Marcel Duchamp with this exquisite framed ready-made—a remarkable addition to any art collection or decor, reflecting the iconic beauty and artistic vision of one of the 20th century's most influential artists.

NB : The screen print will be shipped without the frame. Valerio Adami (born 17 March 1935) is an Italian painter. Educated at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, he has since worked in both London and Paris. His art is influenced by Pop Art. Adami was born in Bologna. In 1945, at the age of ten, he began to study painting under the instruction of Felice Carena. He was accepted into the Brera Academy (Accademia di Brera) in 1951, and there studied as a draughtsman until 1954 in the studio of Achille Funi. In 1955 he went to Paris, where he met and was influenced by Roberto Matta and Wifredo Lam. His first solo exhibition came in 1959 in Milan. In his early career, Adami's works were expressionistic, but by the time of his second exhibition in 1964 at Kassel, he had developed a style of painting reminiscent of French Cloisonnism, featuring regions of flat color bordered by black lines. Unlike Gauguin, however, Adami's subjects were highly stylized and often presented in fragments, as seen in Telescoping Rooms (1965). In the 1970s, Adami began to address politics in his art, and incorporated subject matter such as modern European history, literature, philosophy, and mythology. In 1971, he and his brother Giancarlo created the film Vacances dans le désert. In 1974 he illustrated a Helmut Heissenbuttel poem, Occasional Poem No. 27.
