Pictorial Nominalism: On Marcel Duchamp's Passage from Painting to the Readymade - Theory and History of Literature
Thierry De Duve
Reveals the invention of the readymade as a critical point in contemporary art. Arguing that the readymade belongs to that moment in the history of painting when both figuration and the practice of painting become "impossible," this book presents a psychoanalytically informed account of the birth of abstraction.
