Marcel Duchamp, Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2 1912

I’ve always thought Duchamp to be one of the most important artists, maybe more so than Picasso, but that’s just personal taste. Until the 26th May, you can judge for yourself at The Tate modern exhibition of Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia subtitled “The Moment Art Changed Forever”. I shan’t be able to make it (shame on me) but if you get the chance go – I guess you’re not going to take my word for it – how about The Guardian‘s Adrian Searle who writes.

This exhibition and its accompanying catalogue do much to bring the complications, developing attitudes and complexities of these three artists to life. It also highlights changing social mores and the ways art has been made over the past century. Rather than presenting us with closure and academic posturings, Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia makes the best of their art look vital again, dangerous and alive.
