Paperback. Marcel Duchamp zaehlt zu den raetselhaftesten Kuenstler*innen des 2 . Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 92 erschuf er sein Alter Ego Rrose Selavy, eine der schillerndsten Figuren der modernen Kunst. Lars Blunck widmet sich erstmals umfassend der komplexen Geschichte von Rrose Selavy. Unter Beruecksichtigung aller relevanten Werke rekonstruiert er die historischen Kontexte und beleuchtet Duchamps kuenstlerische Haltung der 92 er-Jahre. Duchamp, der unter dem Namen Rrose Selavy auf spielerische und ironische Weise die Ansprueche der Kunst und der Kuenstler*innen seiner Zeit Freund*innen wie Gegner*innen verspottete, lehnte alle Ismen ab und schuf zugleich seinen eigenen: den Au-Cul-Ismus" . Rrose Selavy machte sich ueber die Kunst selbst lustig. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Marcel Duchamp was one of the most enigmatic artists of the 20th century. In 1920 he invented an alter ego called Rrose Sélavy, who would become one of the most dazzling characters in modern art. This ground-breaking book is the first to fully explore the complex history of Rrose Sélavy in detail. It takes into account all the relevant works, reconstructs all the historical contexts, and sheds light on Duchamp’s artistic attitude in the 1920s. "Known also under the name Rrose Sélavy" (Duchamp), he playfully and ironically mocked the pretensions of the art and artists of his time, friends and foes alike. In Rrose Sélavy, he, who rejected all -isms, took the liberty of creating his own -ism: a self-proclaimed "au-culism". Rrose Sélavy was mocking art.
- First comprehensive study on Rrose Sélavy,the alter ego of Marcel Duchamp
