About the Item

Embark on a visual journey with the Set of 6 Marcel Duchamp Rotoreliefs, a stunning edition framed in red by Konig Series 133 in 1987. This collection pays homage to Duchamp's iconic 1935 rotoreliefs, presenting a beautiful reprint on six round cards with captivating designs on each side. Printed in Germany with precision and care, each card boasts a diameter of approximately 5.5 inches. The set is a testament to the timeless allure of Duchamp's exploration of optical illusions and mechanical art. Titles of the Rotoreliefs include: Front: Cerceaux – Back: Verre de Bohèmee Front: Corolles – Back: Lampe Front: Spirale Blanche – Back: Eclipse Totale Front: Escargot – Back: Poisson Japonais Front: Laterne Chinoise – Back: œuf à la coque Front: Cage – Back: Montgolfiere Originally conceived in 1935, Duchamp's Rotoreliefs were designed to be spun on a turntable at 40–60 rpm, creating an optical illusion of depth. The set encapsulates Duchamp's fascination with visual tricks and showcases his influence on Cubism, conceptual art, and Dada. The historical significance of these rotoreliefs is underscored by their initial display and sale at the Concours Lépine inventor’s fair, where they were offered to the public. Marcel Duchamp, born on July 28, 1887, left an indelible mark on the art world, challenging conventional notions of art and paving the way for revolutionary developments in the plastic arts. As you explore this set, you're not just acquiring a collection of cards; you're immersing yourself in the mind of an artist who sought to use art as a means to serve the mind. Duchamp's impact on 20th and 21st-century art is immeasurable, and this set serves as a tangible connection to his innovative spirit and enduring legacy.
