They are legendary in word and image: Marcel Duchamp's disguises and countless photographic self-stagings, his ironic, sarcastic, humorous commentaries on art, the art world, art criticism and art history. Less well known is the Marcel Duchamp who, with empathy and strategic alertness, championed the artists of his contemporary cultural environment: as curator of exhibitions between the 1910s and his death in 1968, as juror and advisor to some of the most important collections, museums and galleries of modern art. This volume outlines around seventy exhibitions and, supplemented by the latest research findings, presents Duchamp's co-operation with many of the protagonists of the time: Louise and Walter Conrad Arensberg, Katherine S. Dreier, Francis Picabia, Sidney and Harriet Janis, André Breton, Julien Levy and Peggy Guggenheim.
