Poster, Marcel Duchamp, LHOOQ

Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm

The motif on this poster is a lithograph by Marcel Duchamp from 1919. The title LHOOQ is a pun. The letters pronounced in French sound like "Elle a chaud au cul" which is a vulgar phrase to describe a woman's sexual restlessness. In an interview Duchamp translated it as "there is a fire down there". The work is a donation by Ulf Linde, 1975.

The motif on this poster is a work in the collection of Moderna Museet.
