Understanding Duchamp

The name Marcel Duchamp and his “things” are too often synonymous with hermeticism. Yet he was the initiator of the last great artistic revolution.

We invite you to discover the successive stages of his unique trajectory, and to explore some of its many facets, beyond the single ready-made or his famous silence.

Whether you’re a neophyte or a more experienced reader, you’ll enjoy this book, which above all seeks to illustrate Duchamp’s famous leitmotiv: art is life.
