  • More about Dressing and Undressing Duchamp


Fashion has been marginalized in art history and museums, but Marcel Duchamp's works challenge this notion. This book reveals that clothing and dressing are significant themes in Duchamp's life and work, including his drawings, fashioning of his body, readymades, and curatorial gestures. His waistcoat readymade series (1957-1961) established a precedent for sartorial art as a valid form of artistic expression.

Fashion has long been overlooked in art history and museums, yet one of the most renowned artists of the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp, challenged the notion that fashion does not belong in these institutions. Through his artwork, including drawings, body fashioning, readymades, and curatorial gestures, Duchamp revealed that clothing and dressing were significant themes in his life and work. This book explores the items of clothing worn by Duchamp and the traces of his wardrobe management, unveiling him as a dandy. His waistcoat readymade series, "Made to Measure" (1957-1961), was a remarkable effort to redefine the readymade to include clothing, establishing sartorial art as a valid form of artistic expression. By examining the material traces of Duchamp's fashioning of his body and identity, this book makes an original contribution to understanding Duchamp's work and the significance of the clothed body in the vanguard of Modernism. Furthermore, it explains the relevance of fashion in museums to modern audiences today.
