Description
Duchamp's Last Day offers a radical reading of the artist's final hours, just moments after his death. A photograph taken by his closest friend Man Ray captures Duchamp's calm face, but the surrounding context raises questions about the nature of artworks and authorship. This fascinating essay delves into the mystery of the photograph, exploring whether it is an artwork or merely a record, and whether the artist himself has turned into one of his own readymades.
