Some worship his genius; others believe that because of him the history of art swerved badly off course. One thing is for sure: the legacy of Marcel Duchamp – the man who put urinals and bicycle wheels into galleries and called them art – has been the most dominant single influence over the art of the late 20th and early 21st century, far outstripping even that modern master, Picasso.
It is this legacy that the
Barbican Centre in London will celebrate in Dancing Around Duchamp, a season running from February to June next year spanning art, dance, music, theatre and film.
