Anemic Cinema

'', 1925 Duchamp first showed Anemic Cinema at a private screening for friends in Paris on 30 August 1926. He brought the film on a trip to New York later that year, where he held another private screening at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse on 22 December 1926, and another at Miles Studio in early 1927. Artist Hans Richter acquired a print of the film and gave it its public debut in 1929, screening it at the Film und Foto exhibition in Stuttgart. New York art dealer Julien Levy obtained another print and screened it at his gallery in 1936 and 1937. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) acquired a print from Duchamp in 1938; this was the first of Duchamp's works to enter a museum collection. The film gained recognition in the 1930s and 1940s as Richter's copy circulated to film clubs in Europe, and MoMA's copy was lent to museums and universities around North America. ==Rotoreliefs texts==
