Elaine Sturtevant

Duchamp Triptych, from Sequences

Elaine Sturtevant's "Duchamp Triptych, from Sequences" is a three part print work that combines grano lithography and screenprinting techniques to engage with Marcel Duchamp's artistic legacy. The triptych format allows Sturtevant to create a meditative visual dialogue across multiple panels, using the distinct technical properties of lithography and screen printing to generate varied surface qualities and chromatic effects on Rives rag paper. Through this work, Sturtevant continues her practice of strategic appropriation and reinterpretation, transforming Duchamp's conceptual framework into a contemporary printmaking statement that questions notions of originality and artistic reproduction.

Medium
The complete set of three prints, comprising two grano-lithographs and one screenprint in colours, on Rives rag paper, with full margins.
