1887 - 1968
Who was Marcel Duchamp?
Marcel Duchamp was a Franco-American painter, sculptor, and writer whose work has been varyingly associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art. Along with Picasso and Matisse, Duchamp is regarded as one of the instrumental figures who redefined the plastic arts at the beginning of the 20th century. Famously, Duchamp believed that art should never privilege aesthetic beauty over the potential for intellectual stimulation.
In Duchamps’s work, we find overlapping frames, multiple perspectives, plotted perspective, and chance procedures. For a time, Duchamp was also invested in ‘found art’ put forth by Zurich Dadaism. Duchamp infamously submitted a urinal, which he titled Fountain, to the Society of Independent Artists exhibit in 1917, much to the society’s dismay. Fountain and his other ready made works were meant to question the very notion of art, and the adoration of art more broadly. Comparatively, Duchamp’s impressionist and post-impressionist works were created through a highly meticulous, laborious process.

Works by Marcel Duchamp rarely appear for public sale. The last major sale of a Duchamp artwork occurred in 1977 when a later version of Fountain was bought at Sotheby's, New York, for $1,762,500 USD. If you love the art of Marcel Duchamp but don’t have a million dollars to spend on artwork for your home, take a look at Singulart’s curated collection of artists for sale whose modernist work reminds us or is inspired by that of the great Duchamp.
