A one-time Fauvist Cubist Dadaist and Surrealist but an eternal chess player Marcel Duchamp remains the avant-garde figure beyond all avant-garde figures of the past century. Provocative and brilliant he radically challenged and changed accepted notions of art and its manufacture and of the relationship between art and life. Marcel Duchamp published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel under the curatorship of Harald Szeeman endeavors to trace the different periods of Duchamp's oeuvre by means of a selection of his work focused mainly on those aspects that influenced Tinguely's own oeuvre. Additionally the publication contains statements by Duchamp and essays by renowned Duchamp scholars on such topics as the emergence and development of the ready-made concept and its impact on the art of the 1960s.
