Duchamp signed each of these replicas on the back of the left flange âMarcel Duchamp 1964â. There is also a copperplate on the base of each work etched with Duchampâs signature, the dates of the original and the replica, the title, the edition number and the publisherâs name, âGalleria Schwarz, Milanâ.
Baby powder is an astringent powder used for preventing diaper rash, as a deodorant, and for other cosmetic uses. It may be composed of talc (in which case it is also called talcum powder) or corn starch. Talcum powder is dangerous if inhaled since it may cause aspiration pneumonia or granuloma. Drugs such as cocaine are sometimes cut with talcum powder. It is also an ingredient in counterfeit pharmaceuticals and food products as a bulking agent in order to give the appearance of a larger quantity than actually present.
For years talcum powder has been a bathroom cabinet staple for many families around the world. But on Tuesday, a US jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $72 million (Â£52 million) to the family of a woman whose death from ovarian cancer was linked to her use of the company's talc-based Baby Powder.
