Duchamp & Androgyny: Art, Gender, and Metaphysics

Much has been written about Duchamp from the point of view of gender studies which focus on sex and gender roles. This book examines Duchamp’s work from the metaphysical level of Androgyny, which has nothing to do with sexuality except in a symbolic manner.Duchamp understood Androgyny as a psychological state, and as a traditional ideal of spiritual traditions around the world. It is the first book-length study of Androgyny in the work of any major artist.
