When Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) declared it to be art. The uproar that greeted the French artist’s\u003ci\u003e Fountain\u003c\/i\u003e (1917), a porcelain urinal installed in a gallery, sent shock waves through the art world establishment that reverberate right through to today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThis 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 \u003ci\u003eNude Descending a Staircase \u003c\/i\u003e(1912) to his forays into the now-iconic “readymades” such as \u003ci\u003eBicycle Wheel\u003c\/i\u003e (1913) and \u003ci\u003eBottle Rack\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43690044096770,"sku":"9783836534321","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2228\/7429\/files\/Duchamp-cover-2.jpg?v=1682957240","url":"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/en-au\/products\/duchamp-basic-art","provider":"St. Louis Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
