Dialogues With Marcel Duchamp by Pierre Cabanne, Robert Motherwell, Marcel Duchamp

3.0

This interview, conducted the year before his death, finds Duchamp confident, bemused, and thoughtful; his precise and reserved wit occasionally pierces through the facts asked after and indifferently produced. There is also a cute moment when Duchamp mentions Robert Motherwell (editor of this edition and the "Documents of 20th Century Art" series) and how he makes his "money easily" -- in reply, footnote 13 reads: "? [Ed.]" But all that is mythical and uncontrollable about Duchamp's work is hard to find here, though the singularity of it does come through.
