Marcel Duchamp: Artist of the Century

by Rudolf E. Kuenzli, Francis M. Naumann (Editor)

One hundred years after his birth, Marcel Duchamp remains an enigma; no other artist, perhaps, has produced so varied a group of masterpieces in so short a span of time. These eleven illustrated essays explore the structure and meaning of Duchamp's work as part of an ongoing critical enterprise that has just begun. Ranging from the Munich period and the development of the ready-mades to the last work, Etant donnés, they present the latest thinking on Duchamp and his ideas.

[Tatiana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent collection of essays on various aspects of the most revolutionary and complex artist of the 20th century.

[Tosh · Rating 4 out of 5]

An overall good thread on Duchamp and his world. The title says it all "Artist of the Century" and that is true on so many levels. One of the great visionaries as well as a practical man who does his art in a rather indifferent world.
