Passports. United States, 1957, 1966

Comprised of financial receipts documenting Duchamp's sale and purchase of works of art; official papers, such as identification cards, French and American passports, visas to enter and remain in the United States, and French and American military papers; and vital records pertaining to Duchamp's birth, first marriage, and divorce. Of particular interest is a French military booklet dating from 1905 that Duchamp reproduced on a wine bottle for the 1945 cover of the Marcel Duchamp number of View magazine. A French passport from 1954 includes five loose photographs of Duchamp.
