This was a formal affair, wasn't it?
I mean, this was the great and the good of the New York art world.
In his early 20s, he created his own brand of cubism, and in 1912, his depiction of a body as a fluttering mechanism, nude descending a staircase, created a sensation when it was shown in New York.
But although his name was associated with some of the great movements of the time, Duchamp preferred to stand alone, as he explained years later in an interview.
For the young Carol Janist,
Duchamp's greatest contribution was what he called his ready-mades.
These were ordinary mass-produced objects like the urinal or the bicycle wheel that Duchamp had attached onto a wooden stool.
Essentially, Duchamp's idea was that by selecting an ordinary object and designating it art, the artist gave it new meaning.
What would happen if, in fact, these manufactured ready-mays were mass-produced and we could all buy one for two shillings?
So that, in fact, you stayed very much within the accepted standards of the artwork.
Carroll's parents, Sidney and Harriet Janis' art gallery in New York, was a beacon for new avant-garde artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
But it was Marcel Duchamp, their friend, whom Carroll says his parents treasured most.
In 1952, Sidney Janis agreed to host an exhibition of Dadaism that Duchamp wanted to curate.
In return, Janis asked, would Duchamp show his famous urinal, The Fountain?
For this replica, all those years later, Duchamp needed a new urinal.
But he couldn't find the right one in New York.
We weren't going to ask permission.
We're just going to do it.
It was such an amazing feeling.
It was incredible.
