Kitap hakkında
Marcel Duchamp's enigmatic personality and avant-garde art—in particular his masterpiece The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even—radically influenced an entire generation of American multimedia artists, including composer John Cage, choreographer Merce Cunningham, and visual artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Featuring 63 pages of color plates, this slipcased anthology chronicles the loose-knit cabal they formed, whose experimental spirit and conceptualized artwork had many repercussions on their respective disciplines. Essays by Susan Sontag, David Sylvester, Calvin Tompkins, Nicolas Calas, and Michael Nyman appear here alongside texts and reminiscences by the artists themselves, along with an extensive chronology that covers the 123 years spanning Duchamp's birth and Johns's most recent work.
