Hi Mary,
Denise is exactly right. Francis
Picabia is also attributed as La Sainte
Vierge’s creator in the article, ”Questioning
Dada's potency: Picabia's La Sainte Vierge
and the dialogue with Duchamp.” If you have access to Academic
Search Premier, the full-text is available, and the article has a picture of La Sainte Vierge. Here’s the
bibliographic info:

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] "Sacre
Vierge" Ink Blot by Marcel Duchamp
From Calvin Tompkins Bio of Duchamp
(Pimlico 1996) pg 234:
“If Rose Selavy represented the
spirit of New York Dada, her counterparts in Paris were two widely circulated
images by Francis Picabia: an ugly splatter of black ink on a white page in 391,
entitled La Sainte Vierge (The Blessed Virgin), and a Dada Painting that
consisted of a child’s stuffed monkey nailed to a board, with
“Portrait de Cezanne, Portrait de Renoir, Portrait de Rembrandt, Natures
Morte” painted around the edges.
Looks like Picabia is who this student is
looking for.
391 was a magazine.

Can anyone help with the
following query from a student?
I am in search of a copy of an ink blot called "Sacre Vierge" by Marcel Duchamp.
