A tribute to Marcel Duchamp
2012 · Mixed Media (decoration glass, pedestal) · variable dimensions
Marcel Duchamp (1887 - 1968) is claimed one of the founders of conceptual art and trailblazer of Dadaism and surrealism. Although his position towards pop art remained ambivalent, he had quite much influence on artists like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Hamilton or Peter Blake.
His works – especially his Ready-mades, like Bicycle Wheel (1913), Bottle Rack (1914) and Fountain (1917) – radically questioned the current art concepts of his time.
In 1915, he started one of his main works: „The Large Glass or The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even“ (La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même). He considered The Large Glass as a „marriage of spiritual and visual reactions“, as representation and idea at the same time.
A Tribute to Marcel Duchamp now unites these artistic approaches and presents „The Large Glass“ as a Ready-Made.
