About this work

This image looks like an old newspaper clipping. The headline reads *"Marcel Duchamp, diez años después"* (Marcel Duchamp, ten years later). Below it, there’s a black-and-white photo of a woman in a dark dress standing near a metal gate. The gate has a sign that says *"APOLINÈRE ENAMELED"* in bold letters. The newspaper’s text is in Spanish, and the date at the top is *1 de Octubre de 1978*. The clipping is part of a supplement called *"del Caribe"* from Barranquilla, Colombia. The photo seems to be a reproduction of Duchamp’s work, but it’s framed like a news story. The text talks about Duchamp’s influence and how his ideas changed art. For more on this kind of printed art, look up *lithography*.
