In Reply to: The Munich 'Aeroplane' ink/wash drawing and the status of the plans for the Large Glass that Duchamp sketched on the wall in his studio flat at 23 Rue St Hippolyte. posted by Glenn on January 15, 19100 at 06:45:42:
re: Aeroplane: your observations are new to me.
I know of no other reference to this in Duchamp
literature. For other observations of the plane
and to what the drawing might be related to,
check out Cooper/Caumont "Ephemerides" in
Marcel Duchamp (Cambridge: MIT, 1993 [Venice
Exhibition Catalogue]) n.p.
re: rue Hippolyte - unfortunately I do not know
more than what is repeated in Duchamp-literature,
that the drawings are destroyed or forever lost
layers of paint and wallpaper.

(if you like, write to toutfaitjournal@aol.com
and let us know more about your 'picto/bio'
tracking project. Sounds to interesting to be
left out of TF's next issue.
