In Infinite Regress, David Joselit considers the plurality of
identities and practices within Duchamp's life and art between 1910
and 1941, conducting a synthetic reading of his early and middle
career. There is not one Marcel Duchamp, but several. Within his
oeuvre Duchamp practiced a variety of modernist idioms and invented
an array of contradictory personas: artist and art dealer,
conceptualist and craftsman, chess champion and dreamer, dandy and
recluse. In Infinite Regress, David Joselit considers the plurality
of identities and practices within Duchamp's life and art between
1910 and 1941, conducting a synthetic reading of his early and
middle career. Taking into account underacknowledged works and
focusing on the conjunction of the machine and the commodity in
Duchamp's art, Joselit notes a consistent opposition between the
material world and various forms of measurement, inscription, and
quantification. Challenging conventional accounts, he describes the
readymade strategy not merely as a rejection of painting, but as a
means of producing new models of the modern self.
