说起马塞尔·杜尚,我马上想到的,并非那只人尽皆知的小便器,而是杜尚的“萝丝·塞拉维”女装大佬的形象。“她”裹着毛皮大衣,浓妆艳抹,戴着一顶时髦的帽子,手臂妖娆向上弯延,兰花指搁在领子旁,眼神冷艳,乍眼以为是美貌的熟女,再一看又有些男性特征。从1920年夏末初秋...

评分按:杜尚在中国已成了一个标签和符号,他无欲无求,他放弃了绘画,但似乎少有人关心他对于自己的艺术是怎么想的。这篇文章是杜尚在一个艺术研讨会上的发言(杜尚竟然在艺术研讨会上有过这样一本正经的发言,这件事本身就与我们对他的想象相去甚远),核心观点也是他一直以来所...

First published to great acclaim in 1996, New Yorker writer and art critic Calvin Tomkins’ biography of the influential artist Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) has been out of print for many years. Now, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, is publishing a new and revised edition of the landmark biography to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Duchamp’s first Readymade, “Bicycle Wheel,” a later version of which is in MoMA’s collection. Duchamp is widely considered one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, yet his personal life remained an enigma throughout his avidly scrutinized career. Tomkins, from his unique vantage point as both an accomplished art critic and a friend of Duchamp’s since the late 1950s, presents a piercing portrait of Duchamp, adeptly analyzing his art and career while also recounting his personal life, influences and relationships. This thoroughly researched, eminently readable book is by far the most authoritative Duchamp biography.
