The Secret of Marcel Duchamp The grandfather of conceptual art was undoubtedly
Marcel Duchamp. Having shocked the art establishment in the 1920s by turning everyday objects - from bicycle wheels to urinals - into art, Duchamp seemed to retreat from the art world. But in secret he was working on his final masterpiece, EtantDonnes, an elaborate peepshow of a nude that intrigued art critics and public alike. Now the story behind Duchamp's last work, and the personal drama that inspired it, have come to light. Producer Chris Granlund ; Series editor
