Coles Beuys & Duchamp: Artists of the Future at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Points of overlap and contention between two avant-garde visionaries In conversations and interviews, Joseph Beuys (1921–86) alluded to Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) more than to any other artist. And hardly anyone else seems to have challenged his work and his thought more than this artist from the previous generation.
Direct evidence of this complex tension is his oft-cited action The Silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overrated from 1964, through which Beuys attempted to shift focus onto the political and social dimensions of his concept of expanded art. The associations and connections between the artists go deep. Both used similar radical strategies to rejuvenate the concept of art and the role of art in everyday life; their questions had a number of aspects in common.
This fully illustrated catalog is the first to undertake a profound exploration of this multilayered relationship, while investigating both artists’ future-oriented potential.
