Duchamp After Unbekannt

Last night, while paging through Hamilton's The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even (1960), one of the drawings on glassine paper grabbed my attention because it provided clear dimensions of The Large Glass. I've never been certain as to whether my CAD drawing of The Large Glass cracks is dimensionally correct, and, as it turns out, my drawing is 1.645m wide as opposed to the correct 1.70m wide. Alas, all corrections can now be made, as well as a redrawing of the entire delay.

coincidental? or Learning from Nudist Camp
In keeping with the bilocation theme/amalgamation of Leaving Obscurity Behind, Duchamp and Jennewein, with help from Michelangelo, are installing new virtual art works for the two still-blank pediments of the Philadelphia Museum of Art courtyard.


Either I never noticed it before or it's a new display, a portrait of Marie-Antoinette hangs in a gallery of the Philadelphia Museum of Art that is next to the gallery containing four French sculptures given to the Museum by Eva Stotesbury in memory of her husband Ned. Of course, Marie-Antoinette and Eva and Ludwig have been very close recently as they prepare for "Here a Versailles, There a Versailles, Everywhere a Versailles, Sigh" to be delivered at Versailles, Herrenchiemsee, and Whitemarsh Hall 18 January 2005. Otto's already made provisions in case anyone attending the lecture comes down with trilocation-sickness.

1952. Sunday, New York City   [22 December 1952 was actually a Monday]
Cabling Henri Marceau to ask whether the Large Glass (now formally accepted by the museum [24.11.1952]) could be transported to Philadelphia [19.11.1952] on 30 December, Duchamp adds; "four strong men needed."
