An essential compendium for puzzling out an essential artist.” —Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e Among the most influential artists of the last hundred years, Marcel Duchamp holds great allure for many contemporary artists worldwide and is largely considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern art. Despite this popularity, books on Duchamp are often hyper-theoretical, rarely presenting the artist in an accessible way. This new book explores the artist’s life and work through short, alphabetical dictionary entries that introduce his legacy in a clear and engaging way.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From alchemy and anatomy to Warhol and windows, \u003cem\u003eThe Duchamp Dictionary\u003c\/em\u003e offers a pithy and readable text that draws on in-depth scholarship and the very latest research.
