Ironic? Subversive? Humorous?
This show lets us explore how Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia turned the art establishment upside down by making every day objects into art.
WOW... By the time you get to room 13 (endgame) you will have a much better understanding about what made this groundbreaking trio tick! All the iconic pieces are here... Duchamp's re-touched Mona Lisa (titled L.H.O.O.Q which, when pronounced in French sounds like "she has a nice ass."), Man Ray's 'rayographs' and Picabia's wonderful paintings.
A must see show... If you have to choose between this and Munoz... walk this way!!!
