Reviews

Kilroy makes a strong case that 'Duchamp's intention with Fountain was to expose the mechanism at work in the reception of his oeuvre', at least as measured by the artist's statements. He offers a timely interpretation of Duchamp, who emerges from Kilroy's analysis as an artist single-mindedly focused on the creation and reception of his own self-image. (Melissa Venator, H-France Review, Vol. 19 (21), January, 2019)
