At the radical heart of the New York Dada movement, The Blind Man stands as one of the most provocative and historically significant art magazines ever produced — a razor-sharp manifesto disguised as a periodical, published in 1917 by Marcel Duchamp, Henri-Pierre Roché, and Beatrice Wood. This 100th Anniversary Facsimile Edition, meticulously edited by Sophie Seita, presents faithful reproductions of both issues (Nos. 1 & 2) alongside the equally seminal rongwrong, offering readers an unmediated encounter with the incendiary ideas that shook the New York art world and gave birth to conceptual art as we know it. Rounding out this extraordinary box set are Beatrice Wood's poster for The Blind Man's Ball (1917), Man Ray's The Ridgefield Gazook (1915), and Elizabeth Zuba's translations of the original French texts. Published by Ugly Duckling Presse as part of their celebrated Lost Literature series, this edition arrives with a scholarly introduction by Sophie Seita that contextualises the magazines within the broader currents of Dada irreverence, anti-war sentiment, and avant-garde artistic experimentation. Duchamp's legendary championing of the readymade — most famously, his rejected submission of Fountain — reverberates through every page, challenging the very definition of art in ways that continue to resonate over a century later. For scholars, collectors, and anyone captivated by the moments when art tears up its own rulebook, this facsimile edition is an essential, thrilling document of cultural rupture.
