Marcel Duchamp: Etant Donnes
by Michael R. Taylor
by Michael R. Taylor
Incredible images and documentation on Marcel Duchamp's great and his last piece of work "Etant donnes. When everyone thought he was playing chess, Duchamp has been working secretly on his late masterpiece. A work that is still disturbing and frankly shocking.
Violence, eros, and mystery all wrapped in one art work. Yale University did a fantastic job in putting this volume together. There are tons of Duchamp books out there, but this is truly an essential volume. The more one writes about this work, the more mysterious it becomes. Truly unique and one-of-a-kind.

I will have to walk over to the museum and see this show! I didn't even know about it, though I've been to the Duchamp room countless times. It's very entertaining watching the uninitiated tentatively approach the hole in the door and look through it.
One of these days I will make to the museum, but I have to say that this book is pretty essential for the Duchamp lunatic.
YOU DID??
Wow. That kind of makes me hate you. But in a good way.
Do you remember anything about him?

i met him at the opening of the Pasadena retrospective, and I think it was his first retro show if I am not mistaken. What I remember he was super polite, and he shook my hand. I think I was 9 or 8 years old. He had a nice smile. Kind of sneaky smile. Wicked. But not in a bad way.
Hey, I just saw this the other day!It was almost as exciting as watching everyone run up the stairs pretending to be Rocky.
