About the Author
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) studied at the Academie Julian in Paris. In 1913, his work Nude Descending a Staircase was displayed in the Armory Show in New York, and in 1914 he created his first ready-made. He is one of the rare figures in art who had no forerunners. Most of the inovative artistic movements of recent decades--Pop Art, Arte Povera, Conceptual Art--owe a great deal to Duchamp, whom they have acknowledged as their spiritual father.

Duchamp Revelry,
By
This review is from: Marcel Duchamp: Respirateur (Hardcover)
I am not a Duchamp scholar, just a big, big fan who has spent years pursuing my admiration of the artist, the prankster and the genius. This book revels in all three aspects of Duchamp's oeuvre not to mention it is a true joy to hold, read, touch. A bibliophile's appreciation combined with a scholarly interest make this book highly enjoyable and frankly, lots of fun. For the German scholar, all articles are printed in both their German as well as English translations. From an art historical perspective, the text is very well integrated with the presentation of artwork, which includes vellum overlays, making the experience interactive and a sensory delight. This is revelry in true Duchamp; his fun, whimsy and always revolving and diverging vision.
