{"product_id":"marcel-duchamp-at-the-age-marcel-duchamp-9783863353322","title":"Marcel Duchamp at the Age of 85: An Incunabulum of Conceptual Photography","description":"In 1945, Marcel Duchamp published a photographic self-portrait in the American magazine \u003ci\u003eView\u003c\/i\u003e which depicted him--according to the caption--\"at the age of 85.\" In reality he was, at the time, only 58 years old. In other words, the camera was being used as a \"time machine,\" but not, as customary, to capture a present moment, but rather to look into the future. Until now, the circumstances surrounding this early instance of the \"staged photograph\" were unknown. This book includes a recently discovered script by Friedrich Kiesler, published here for the first time, in which Kiesler describes in full detail how he assisted his friend Duchamp in styling himself as a senile artist-philosopher for the lens of New York photographer Percy Rainford. The well-known Duchamp expert Herbert Molderings interprets Duchamp's self-portrait as an innovative, conceptual use of photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Duchamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3863353323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783863353322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Marcel Duchamp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075223744767,"sku":"9783863353322","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0de4d0f0-c666-4e6f-9f96-52f93d09d3c1.jpg?v=1685458316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marcel-duchamp-at-the-age-marcel-duchamp-9783863353322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
