" He is famous. No doubt about it. He led the artists of his time to one of the greatest revolutions of all. He changed the whole idea of art, of what it is. And yet, was he actually laughing at his private joke? Laughing at those who followed him, believing they were following a new belief. Laughing that he had us all fooled, us who took his word. If it is true that it was all a lie, Would it make a difference? "

"In Duchamp's day the 'art world' was tiny and the initiates were
ready for a breakthroughfor new ideas and new media, for 'dada'and
the big money wasn't there. Once we accept that the artist's hand is
no longer necessary, only his idea, it's a short leap to market the
concept that beauty is not only no longer essential, it can even be
turned into a dirty, elitist' word."

"Many of the stories he tells just don't line up," Shearer says. Consider Three Standard Stoppages, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, a key early work. Toward the end of 1913, Duchamp said, in his Paris studio, he cut three lengths of thread, each just under one meter long, dropped them from a height of one meter, and affixed the results on three separate canvases---a new standard of measure, incorporating chance and randomness, for the new art of this century."
