Moving past conventional art historical biography, the essays within contribute robustly to an expanded notion of artistic reception and consider Duchamp’s legacy within geographical, historical, and conceptual environments beyond those experienced by the artist, opening up new and compelling research avenues.’ * Ambra d'Antone, Curatorial Assistant, The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Italy *\u003cbr\u003eIntroducing new critical and artistic voices, this timely volume explores the transformative impetus and generative momentum of Duchamp’s works as accelerants which propel our ideas about art in a global culture. * Dalia Judovitz, Professor Emerita of French, Emory University, USA, and author of Drawing on Art: Duchamp and Company (2010) *\u003cbr\u003eA very Duchampian book about Duchamp…Breaking free from the parameters of art history, criticism, theory, or biography, this book uses these disciplines—plus more, notably the insights of artists, curators, writers, and poets—to emphasize the ambiguities, eccentricities, irony, and crudity that disguised, in plain sight, the disciplined profundity of his work. All contributors see a certain Duchamp as crucial to their contemporaneity. More than a readymade assisted, this book is indeed what is says it is: Duchamp, accelerated into the present. * Terry Smith, Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Sydney, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eFrom brilliant and insightful thinkers, this extraordinary book offers a charming and fascinating study of the artist's life and career.
