I start around 1900 and ask a series of questions about the nature of art. I believe these questions lie at the heart of much of the art of the last 120 years but particularly the last 70 years. I don’t want to problematise art, that is present it as if it were a problem to be solved. I hope instead that the questions will spark some new thoughts the next time you look at some modern art.

Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), ‘Fountain’
