ABOUT THIS EPISODE
An epic art show at the Lexington Avenue Armory made a young Marcel Duchamp, who was back in France, one of America’s first modern celebrities even before he first arrived in New York City for what became decades of painting, conceiving, chess-playing and love-making — though not always in that order. John Strausbaugh, the author of Duchamp Takes New York, joins Amy Sohn and Brian Berger for a wide-ranging discussion of the artist’s life in the Big Apple’s old San Juan Hill and all around Manhattan.
