Description

A new theory of the readymade via a new reading of Picabia and a new writing of Dada.

Reviews

"George Baker's book... is the first in English dealing specifically with Picabia's Dada work in Paris and is a serious rethinking of the readymade (the other, Picabian, one) based on a study of the artist's singularly multifarious practice." John Kelsey Artforum
