Marcel Dzama presents Opposition et cases conjuguées sont réconciliées par Duchamp et Halberstadt, Opposition und Schwesterfelder sind durch Duchamp et Halberstadt versöhnt, opposition and sister squares are reconciled by Duchamp et Halberstadt

I have chosen to have Marcel Duchamp's book, „Opposition and Sister Squares” re-printed quite simply because I love both Duchamp and chess. In it's original printing it didn't fare too well selling-wise and Duchamp apparently had a closet full of the books which he gifted to friends whenever they came over to his home. Regarding the book's failure to sell he has been quoted as saying, „. that the problem it poses only comes up once in a lifetime even for chess masters.“. I also like this quote by Ernst Strouhal, "Opposition and Sister Squares is an artist's book for chess players and a chess book for artists.". Es erscheint eine Collector's Edition in Klappkassette mit einer Collage von Marcel Dzama. Format je 26,5 x 23,5 cm. Collage und Zeichnung auf schwarzem Karton. Signiert. Das dazugehörende Ex Libris ebenfalls mit weißem Stift individuell überzeichnet.
