When is a urinal no longer a urinal? When Marcel Duchamp
(1887-1968) declared it to be art. The uproar that greeted the
French artist's Fountain (1917), a porcelain urinal installed in a
gallery, sent shock waves through the art world establishment that
reverberate right through to today. This essential introduction
distills all the daring and the scandal of Duchamp's practice into
one essential overview not only of a pioneering creative but also
of a critical moment in Western culture. From his groundbreaking
blend of abstraction, Cubism, and Futurism in Nude Descending a
Staircase (1912) to his forays into the now-iconic "readymades"
such as Bicycle Wheel (1913) and Bottle Rack (1914) we explore how
Duchamp consistently challenged the notion of what art is and, in
so doing, opened up a world of conceptual possibilities beyond the
"retinal" experience. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic
Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection
ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a
detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the
artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a
concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory
captions
