As this century draws to a close, it becomes increasingly clear how profoundly the elusive life and art of Marcel Duchamp have influenced the trajectory of modern art. Duchamp seems to have been one of those rare people with the ability to foreshadow the future, and ever since 1913, when his "Nude Descending a Staircase" created a sensation at the Armory Show in New York, his prophetic vision, his statements and his works have indicated new terrain in which artists could operate. The works Duchamp produced after his precocious and much-publicised retirement from "retinal" art, as early as 1922, have provided the springboard for a number of movements and tendencies in art since the 1950s: conceptual art, art-language, multi-media art, happenings and performance art. Duchamp's field of action was one where language, thought and vision acted upon one author, yet he had no messianic pretensions and summarised his attitudes as "Doubt in myself, doubt in everything, in the first place never believing in truth." This publication contains numerous newly researched documents, both written and visual.

ESSAYS BY CALVIN TOMKINS and DR. ADINA KAMIEN-KAZHDAN
Calvin Tomkins is an author and art critic for The New Yorker magazine. He is the author of The Bride and the Bachelors, which traces Duchamp’s legacy through profiles and the artist and his contemporaries. Dr. Adina Kamien-Kazhdan is the David Rockefeller Curator at the Stella Fischbach Department of Modern Art, part of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
Illustrations by Andre Raffray A must for Duchamp devotees everywhere, this little introduction to the life and works of Marcel Duchamp was originally published to accompany a Duchamp retrospective at the Pompidou Centre. Modelled on a children's book, it contains 12 delicious dead-pan full-page colour illustrations of events in Duchamp's life with an equally tongue-in-cheek, but entirely accurate, biography.
