MARCEL DUCHAMP
Coffee Mill.

Etching, 1947. 180x80 mm; 7 1/8x3 1/8 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2), after cancellation. Numbered 51/200 in pencil, lower left. A very good, evenly-printed impression.

Duchamp etched this print in 1947, for inclusion in the Gleizes/Metzinger book Du Cubisme, after the same-titled painting he had made in 1911 for his sculptor brother, Raymond Duchamp-Villon. His brother was married in 1911 and had asked his artist friends to make him small paintings with which to decorate his kitchen.
