Well written, engrossing and an under-reported subject
2 May 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is a fun read - you'll get as close as possible to venturing into the rooms as is possible. It's hard to believe there aren't films made as walk-thoughs, but that seems to be the case. I don't know of another book that focuses on the actual installations of the time. You'll be happy you ventured in, if for no other reason than to see Duchamp from a slightly different angle. A good amount of photos, tho it seems there ARE more out there, even by the book's admissions.
At the best!

The book arrived in perfect conditions, the delivery was easy, and in time.Displaying the Marvelous: Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, and Surrealist Exhibition
Oh my, what a gem

Here is an aspect of Duchamp that in previous books I have read devoted a paragraph or two on his displays in galleries and museums. But this is tastey treat for all you Duchamp and Dali fans. Even though Dali - the person- always rub me wrong way, here his contrubution to inventive displays at the world fair is a very interesting read. Duchamp's 1200 coal sacks and mile of string is fully explained. There is much more and every page is just great.
