Mida\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the vast body of material on iconoclastic artist Marcel Duchamp, an aspect that is little-studied is his engagement with clothing. This book reveals that clothing and dressing are significant themes that recur in Duchamp's life and his work – including his drawings, his fashioning of his body, his readymades, and in his curatorial gestures. In examining the items of clothing worn by Duchamp and the related traces of his wardrobe management, Duchamp is unmasked as a dandy. His waistcoat readymade series \u003ci\u003eMade to Measure\u003c\/i\u003e (1957-1961) is in fact a remarkable and deliberate effort to recalibrate the definition of the readymade to include clothing. With this little-studied readymade series, Duchamp established a precedent for sartorial art as a valid form of artistic expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn considering the material traces of Duchamp's fashioning of his body and identity in his work and life, this book makes a highly original contribution to the understanding of Duchamp's work as well as the significance of the clothed body in the vanguard of Modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350236110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40829453795534,"sku":"9781350236110","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350236110","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
