Marcel Duchamp — The readymade: the beautiful, the ugly, the indifferent
Via Walker Art Center: Marcel Duchamp talks with Martin Friedman, Walker Art Center director (1961-90), about the readymade. October 18, 1965: “Indifference is very difficult as there’s always some detail in any object that will attract you aesthetically, meaning that you’ll find it beautiful or even ugly, which is the same thing: ugly or beautiful is the same thing when it comes to choosing an object in the form of a readymade. [...] That’s why I’ve made so few.”
