Summary:
"Throughout his ouevre, Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) refused to respect the cultural and commercial hierarchies that extolled artistic originals while vilifying reproductions. He proposed a new paradigm in the history of modern art, whereby certain copies and their originals elicited comparable forms of aesthetic pleasure. Marcel Duchamp and the Lure of the Copy explores the various approaches that Duchamp adopted to duplicate his work without simply copying." -- page 4 of cover
