Specialist note

‘Duchamp did a very valuable and important thing in introducing manmade objects into the world of art. That provided us with an enormous vocabulary of new materials but, more importantly, it made us realize that we do not have to change the object if we can change the terms around it’ (T. Cragg, quoted in C. King, ‘The Brilliance of Tony Cragg’, The Art Economist, p. 21).
