4.0 out of 5 stars
For the Academics, September 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Infinite Regress: Marcel Duchamp 1910-1941 (October Books) (Hardcover)
Joselit's study of Duchamp is a top-notch academic book and for the non art history buffs, it will certainly be a challenging read. Joselit's vocabulary is immense and sophisticated and without direct references to the reproductions included in the text (ie. Nude Decending a Staircase, figure 1, p. 33) his assertations can be hard to follow. For those already familiar with Duchamp and his art, this book will take your knowledge to the next level. Joselit is an incredible modern scholar.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A work of impeccable scholarship, March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Infinite Regress: Marcel Duchamp 1910-1941 (October Books) (Hardcover)
Thorough, rigorous and provocative. Joselit provides fresh insight into the intellectual basis of Duchamp's work and arrives at some startling conclusions, but never makes any flying leaps of his own-- his results stem from careful research and solid analysis. Jammin'!
