Best known for cheeky conceptual works--like his signed urinals (R. Mutt) and his graffitioed Mona Lisa--Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was also an extraordinary painter and sculptor (Nude Descending a Staircase) who changed the language of twentieth-century art and reigns with Picasso and Matisse as one of its greatest influences. Joseph Masheck has compiled a sampler of the best writing on Duchamp, with pieces that include Duchamps obituary from Artforum, written by Jasper Johns; Octavio Paz on the ready-mades; a Duchamp post-mortem by Hans Richter; Donald Judds investigation of Rrose SÃ(c)vy; a Counter-Avant-Garde by Clement Greenberg; a consideration by Guillaume Apollinaire; and John Cages 26 Statements on Marcel Duchamp. Illustrated with photographs of Duchamps seminal pieces, and updated with a substantial preface that offers new scholarship as well as a fascinating consideration of why Duchamps popularity has exponentially increased since this book first appeared, this is an essential volume for the Duchamp devotee.About author(s):Joseph Masheck has served as editor-in-chief of Artforum, contributing editor of Art in America, and as a professor of art history at Barnard, Harvard, and Hofstra. An artist himself, and the author of many books (among them Van Gogh 100, Building-Art, and Modernities), he lives in New York City.
