In occasione della mostra di Gianfranco Baruchello alla Gregory Fotografia, Roma, aprile 1978. / On the occasion of Gianfranco Baruchello's exhibition at Gregory Fotografia, Rome, April 1978. - - - "Gianfranco Baruchello took these photographs of Marcel Duchamp on various occasions during the course of a long and intimate friendship. They're presented neither as criticism nor as works of art and they make no attempt to speculate on the importance of the person they depict. Baruchello and Duchamp were friends and they saw each other from time to time because of their friendship or for reasons connected with it. Photography, here, is one of the ordinary facts of ordinary daily living, a way to remember a date, a place, a moment when people got together. In general, the photographs that record the life and personality of Marcel Duchamp are widely known and often seen. The quality of these photographs by Baruchello isn't exceptional, and they don't present any new discoveries or strip their subject bare like the 'Bride' of the Large Glass. They're to be valued not as great photography but rather as personal, original, and previously unpublished documents preserved among all the other odds and ends of an artist's studio, protected by a sense of modesty and discretion as well as by a certain amount of jealousy. [.] Duchamp died in 1968 and these photographs were taken between 1962 and 1966. They're among the last images we have of Duchamp in the easy relaxation of the normal attitudes and activities of everyday living: smoking, talking, observing the things around him. They were taken in Rome during the filming of La Verifica Incerta (a movie made by Gianfranco Baruchello and Alberto Grifi in 1963), at Bomarzo in the gardens of Villa Orsini, at Cerveteri and in Umbria, at Duchamp's summer home in Cadaquès on the Costa Brava, and finally at the Philadelphia Museum, next to the Large Glass. These 20 photographs can be neither in nor out of fashion, they belong to the present as well as to the future and the past, they belong to everyone who finds an interest in them".…
