Description
The Readymade Century explores the enduring influence of Marcel Duchamp's readymades, first introduced 100 years ago. This book examines the development of Duchamp's concept from its inception in 1916 to 1964, and then delves into the reception of his work beyond his lifetime. A pivotal moment in the history of the readymade occurred in 1964, when Duchamp's multiples were exhibited alongside Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes. This convergence marked a turning point in the mid-century art movement, with direct relevance for contemporary artistic practices. The Readymade Century sheds light on this pivotal moment and its lasting impact. By examining both the genesis of Duchamp's concept and its reception over time, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the readymade's influence on modern art.
