The Indefinite Duchamp (Poiesis)

The Staatliche Museum Schwerin acquired an extensive collection of works by Marcel Duchamp--assembled by Belgian Ronny van de Velde--in 1997, which resulted in the founding of the Duchamp Research Center in 2009. This, the second volume of the accompanying monograph series, Poeisis, collects previously published essays written by Duchamp expert Thomas Girst. In addition, interviews by Duchamp's contemporaries on the artist as well as about sixty quotations from famous fellow peers serve to paint a very personal picture of this singular artist.
