Regarding Etant Donnes, what is your point exactly? I've seen it at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Is it really the case that Duchamp never wanted it shown?
Well, no. But he did work on it in secrecy for ~20 years during which he gave all the appearances of having "given up art" to play chess. I'd think his behavior during that time passes Olivier's "not artist" test, even though his activity during that time was clearly artistic activity. That's why I bring it up. -- Maurice Rickard http://mauricerickard.com/ | http://onezeromusic.com/
