FUTURISM & DADA REVIEWED

Marcel Duchamp's La mariée mise a nu par ses celibataires...meme: Copyright: 3

My search has connected me to some very interesting people. I am grateful for the kind responses. The New York Foundation for the Arts have provided with some very useful pointers, of which I am very thankful.

I did come across this great resource: The Dada Companion. I contacted them and that led to Ubu Web who have proved helpful in matters of copyright.

Ubu Web have suggested I next contact the ARS: Artists Rights Society. I think the New York Foundation for the Arts may have also suggested contacting them. 


ARS are quick to reply. I now await a response from DACS: Design and Artists Copyright Society.

I contacted LTM recordings, Caprice Records and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. LTM pointed to Caprice Records and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts seemed to be the wrong  organisation. The Foundation for Contemporary Arts pointed me to the New York Foundation for the Arts. The New York Foundation for the Arts also seems to be the wrong organisation.


All the above have suffered my rambling emails, for which I apologise to all concerned.

Caprice Records will I hope get back to me regarding Duchamp's  La mariée mise a nu par ses celibataires...meme and the ownership of the copyright and publishing rights.

Does anyone know who has the publishing rights to of Marcel Duchamp's sound piece La mariée mise a nu par ses celibataires...meme


The recording of Marcel Duchamp's La mariée mise a nu par ses celibataires...meme (The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelor's Even) is a "musical erratum" to the sculpture of the same name. The sound piece was composed by Marcel Duchamp (ND 1913?) but performed and recorded by Mats Persson and Kristine Scholz 1980.The CD is called Futurism and Dada Reviewed, LTM Publishing 1988/2000. In the sleeve notes it says that the recording was reproduced by kind permission of Rikskonserter/Caprice Records and published by New York Foundation of Contemporary Arts.

The record company website includes details of FUTURISM & DADA REVIEWED 1912-1959 (LTMCD 2301) and a digitised version of the booklet (omitting the details about New York Foundation of Contemporary Arts):

Caprice Records are yet unable to confirm copyright, while the New York Foundation of Contemporary Arts (if I am contacting the right organisation), are unaware of their possible publishing rights of the piece.
