Paul B. Franklin parses five interrelated themes: the readymade as fetish object; the fetishisation of miniature replicas and mechanical reproductions as originals; fetishism and gender play; fetish materials such as leather, vinyl, foam rubber and metallic paper; and, finally, Duchamp’s fetishistic multiplication of his artistic identity.Eroticism served as an enduring and potent guiding principle for Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) as he traced his singular path through 20th-century art. Duchamp himself acknowledged that eroticism was “visible or conspicuous, or, at any rate, underlying … the basis of everything I was doing.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9782910055820.
