"No matter how different the level of realization of their work—Brancusi’s so refined and elegantly crafted, Duchamp’s so aggressive and formally offhand—both men stand apart from their contemporaries in ways that are similar to one another." –Rosalind Krauss
Brancusi & Duchamp: The Art of Dialogue explores the aesthetic dialogue between Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) and Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), two of the most inimitable artists of the 20th century. Brancusi and Duchamp struck up a friendship in the 1910s that endured for decades. This fully illustrated catalog by Paul B. Franklin presents a selection of 80 sculptures, objects, photographs, films and drawings from an international array of public and private collections, as well as a selection of rare archival documents. Highlights include one original Brancusi sculpture and four posthumous casts in polished bronze; numerous vintage photographic prints by the sculptor of some of his most iconic creations; several of Duchamp’s readymades; and other works including his chess treatise Opposition and Sister Squares Are Reconciled (1932), the cover of which he designed in collaboration with Brancusi.
"Whatever This May Be—'It Is Not Art,'" New York American, March 13, 1927, is reproduced from 'Brancusi & Duchamp.'
