Official synopsis Publisher
For the first time, a publication is being devoted exclusively to Marcel Duchamps’ Pharmacie, the first rectified ready made in the history of art. To date, the work has been largely neglected in art-historical research although it occupies a key position in Duchamps’ radical concept of art. Stefan Banz traces its genesis, comparing the conceptual and visual differences between the three existing versions, which date from 1914, 1937 and1945 respectively. He also looks into the meaning of the term rectified ready made and discusses the philosophical dimension of this at once lapidary, mysterious and cryptic work.
