The Oculist Witnesses by Richard Hamilton (after Marcel Duchamp) poster - Petersburg Press 1968
Produced by Petersburg Press in 1968. The part of the image that shows the glass Marcel Duchamp is holding has a shiny surface. The details of the oculist witnesses are printed in metallic silver. The rest of the surface is matt. The combination gives a sense of three dimensions and certainly of the magic and mystery of the art of Duchamp. The more you live with this, the more you see.
The following text is stylishly printed on the reverse: 'MARCEL DUCHAMP The 'oculist witnesses' a detail from the reconstruction by Richard Hamilton of the large glass 'The bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even' Petersburg Press London' © Petersburg Press London 1968 Printed in England.
