This vivid, wide-ranging and readable book is the first full scale biography of the immensely appealing and complex artist, Marcel Duchamp.

Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was one of the most influential and controversial artists of the 20th-century. Here, Gavin Parkinson tackles both Duchamp's work and its interpretations, in view of the fact that as his work principally focuses on ideas rather than objects, the two are inseparable.

A fresh account of Marcel Duchamp that includes much material on his life after he stopped making art.
