What better way to explore the evolving impact and influence of Duchamp and his work than by looking at both through a wide variety of lenses? This gorgeous edition does just that, examining his career from many angles: photography, fashion, art criticism, curation, Dadaism, mathematics, and more. What emerges is a richly complex portrait of one of the 20th century’s most important artists, which is exactly what he deserves.
