This was always my favorite work of art in MoMA. It made me laugh in a way that no other piece in the collection did or could. Duchamp's humor was such a refreshing thing to bring into a museum that I took off my toupee to him.
Chance and randomness can lead to the creation of artwork that the conscious mind would never conceive of.
Have spent many moment's in the study of Dada, and can attest to the fact that not once have I seen this example from Du Champ quite like this. Would adore seeing the many other's installed there as well, but I am much intrigued by this particular piece by its involvement with the viewer and its surroundings that play heavily into Modern Art of the present generation. Thank you for your own immersion in his work made so very long ago.
a nice small talk on this wonderful piece, thanks
Love the abstract nature of the cracks. My first question was how the artist directed the cracking, but it seems he didn't. Still the cracking is amazing with the radial and geometric patterns.
timeless PIECE of art
Now THIS is art!
I love interactive art. I’m glad you inspired others to participate.
I think the longest title for a piece where I work (Des Moines Art Center) is Ebony Patterson’s “...among the blades between the flowers... while the horse watches... for those who bear/bare witness”
Duchamp is the zeus of contemporary art
Interesting--to say the least.
Duchamp was inspirational for me when I was doing performance art.
Just as in life randomness and chance happens in art - 💗
beauty and unexpected delights
More Duchamp, please.
Checking it out.
Absolutely amazing! [symbolic metaphors to be found in this work]
Saw it recently. Had no idea
I like it
Beautifully said.
Marcel had great luck with his glass panes in transit..
cool job!
Bravo
🖼🎨🔥🔥🔥
cool.
Duchamp the large glass was also cracked badly in shipping.He then declared it finished of course
Idt he ever considered it finished and for most of his stuff as well
I love Duchamp! Thank you for posting this video. Does MoMA know if this work was cracked at the same time the Large Glass was cracked?
This is sticking my art and music making fingers into the electrical socket of artistic possibility that is chance, stochastic, Duchamp and Cage, and everything else that has come since that has rattled my cage...
Hi! How are you?
Korea/Seoul has been raining, windy, snowy and cold since this week. Winter has literally begun.
I hope health and good things will be with you for the rest of the week. ^O^
🙌⛩️🕉️☯️⚛️⛩️🙌.
Shouldn’t the piece be elevated so the lens meets average eye hight? If the viewer is to attempt the one hour challenge , I don’t suppose Duchamp would expect his ‘viewer’ who becomes one with the piece to be crouching that whole time.
Duchamp was such a troll...
Duchamp is not very helpful assimilating the post cubist picture making environment. One failure of Picasso is to disparage talking about the meaning of painting. What’s up with that? Here in a typical joking way Duchamp uses language in a way that waves his hands like a magician to hide meaning. The claim of randomness and accident disparages understanding just as much as Picasso unable to explore language. Contrarily in science there was in logic serious efforts to explore language and over time considerable progress in computing to make pictures. There is nothing similar from Duchamp about conceptual art that influences us. Picasso remains a sort of touchstone of exploration like David Hockney and his proto cubist photo collages. Duchamp permits ‘anything’ goes. It’s all art. But language is an unknown in that statement. How much of any picture is it words is halted by Duchamp’s conceptualism.
