杜尚词典

by Thomas Girst, 托马斯·哲斯特, 闫木子 (Translator)

在近现代艺术史上，几乎没有哪位艺术家像杜尚这样如此仔细地被检视——从炼金术与解剖到沃霍尔与窗户，经由“自行车轮子”，象棋和思维空间，在200多个按照字母顺序排列的词条中，探索了杜尚的人生和作品。杜尚创造了他自己的个人世界，他在其中行走、工作、玩耍、爱，即便从外在看，他是在开玩笑、拒绝和破坏，其实他做的这一切都极其严肃。

I picked this up while I was reading "Where the Heart Beats" about the life of John Cage because Cage was hugely influenced by Duchamp. I studied Dada and Surrealism in college and knew many of Duchamp's famous works but couldn't get my head around why he was so celebrated. This book fixed all that. The dictionary format ended up being a great way to learn about Duchamp and get inside his way of thinking. A fantastic read.

I love everything about this book! I love the way it is formatted and I love the highlighted quotes. I feel like this book made me love Duchamp when I knew very little about him from the start of the book.

Girst's layout and graphic design approach to accompany Duchamp's vast reference has this calm colours and risoprint visual aesthetic.

Great insight into Duchamp’s thinking and view on things directly and indirectly related to the art world.
