From Marcel Raval ("[...] a severe oeuvre, befriended with silence: that of Marcel Duchamp," Les Feuilles libres, Paris, 36, March-June 1924) to Joseph Beuys ("Das Schweigen von Marcel Duchamp wird überbewertet" ["The silence of Marcel Duchamp is overrated."], Dusseldorf, 11 December 1964, passing by Andrew Forge ("The Silence of Marcel Duchamp ," The Listener, London, 5 November 1959) and Georges Charbonnier ("Yet , it is the silence of a painter that we wish to evoke during this series of broadcasts: Marcel Duchamp´s silence [...] Was Marcel Duchamp indicating an absolute disagreement when he stopped painting? With what? These questions will always be present in our minds behind the others we ask...") – from all this, it is very clear.

Q> Marcel Duchamp, perhaps the greatest avant-garde artist of the last century stoppend working as an artist in 1912. This fact had an enormous influence on modern art. On 11 November 1964 Joseph Beuys actually dedicated a complete art-action called “The silence of Marcel Duchamp is overrated” to this refuse to work.
How do you explain this enormous effect Duchamp´s ´not-work´ had? And what do you think about it?
