Description
Marcel Duchamp's pioneering practice challenged the notion of what art is. His work, including Nude Descending a Staircase (1912), a groundbreaking blend of abstraction and Cubism, and his "readymades" such as Bicycle Wheel (1913) and Bottle Rack (1914), consistently pushed boundaries. Duchamp's most infamous piece, Fountain (1917), a porcelain urinal installed in a gallery, sparked controversy that reverberated through the art world. This book explores how Duchamp's work opened up new conceptual possibilities beyond the "retinal" experience, leaving a lasting impact on Western culture. Through an in-depth examination of Duchamp's life and practice, this monograph provides a comprehensive overview of his innovative approach to art.
