Derweil im Leben von Marcel Duchamp
Das ganze Leben1918–1919
Nine months in Buenos Aires
In 1918 he took leave of the New York art scene, interrupting work on the Large Glass, and went to Buenos Aires, where he stayed nine months, played a lot of chess and carved his own wooden set — a local craftsman made the knights.
1920
Founds the Société Anonyme
With Katherine Dreier and Man Ray he created the Société Anonyme as an experimental exhibition context that predates the Museum of Modern Art and was the first modern art collection in the US. In the same year, 1920, he returned from Paris to the United States.
1921
Rrose Sélavy is born
In 1921, in a series of Man Ray’s photographs, Duchamp appeared dressed as a woman under the pseudonym Rrose Sélavy, a pun on “Éros, c’est la vie” (“Eros, such is life”); later he used the name as a byline and signed several works with it.
