„Možná realita je získána mírným ohýbáním fyzikálních a chemických zákonů.“

Marcel Duchamp

„Jakmile začneme vkládat naše myšlenky do slov a vět, vše se zkreslí, jazyk je prostě zatraceně dobrý - používám ho, protože musím, ale nedůvěřuji mu. Nikdy si nerozumíme.“

Marcel Duchamp

„Lidé mluví o Pablovi Picassovi jako o vůdci kubistů, ale striktně řečeno, on už není kubista. Dnes je kubista, zítra bude něco jiného. Jediní praví kubisté jsou Gleizes a Metzinger.“

Marcel Duchamp

„Umění není o sobě, nýbrž o pozornosti, kterou mu přinášíme.“

Marcel Duchamp

„Je-li stín dvojrozměrnou projekcí trojrozměrného světa, pak trojrozměrný svět, jak ho známe, je projekcí čtyřrozměrného vesmíru.“

Marcel Duchamp: Citáty anglicky

“In 1913 I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and watch it turn. A few months later I bought a cheap reproduction of a winter evening landscape, which I called 'Pharmacy' after assign two small dots, one red and one yellow, in the horizon. In New York in 1915 I bought at a hardware store an snow shovel on which I wrote 'In advance of the broken arm'. It was around that time that the word 'Readymade' came to mind to designate this form of manifestation.”

“The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.”

quote from Marcel Duchamp, by Kynaston McShine, 1989; as quoted on Wikipedia: Marcel Duchamp
posthumous

“I am a great enemy of critical writing as all I see in these interpretations and comparisons with Kafka and others is just an opportunity to open up the floodgates of words which, overall, amounts to Carrouges or at times a translation of Carrouges – very free to makes his ideas look good. Obviously any work of art or literature, in the public domain, is automatically the subject of the victim of such transformations – and this is not just confined to the case of Carrouges. Every fifty years, El Greco is revised and adapted to the taste of the day, either overrated or underrated. The same goes for all surviving works of art. And this leads me to say that a work of art is made entirely by those who look at it or read it and make it survive by their acclaim or even their condemnation.”

Quote from Duchamp's letter to Jean Mayoux (a Surrealist artist), New York, 8 March 1956; as cited in The Duchamp Book, ed. Gavin Parkinson, Tate Publishing, London 2008 p. 169
1951 - 1968

“The spectator experiences the phenomenon of transmutation; through the change from inert matter into a work of art, an actual transubstantiation has taken place... All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work into contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.”

“Let us consider two important factors, the two poles of the creation of art: the artist on one hand, and on the other the spectator who later becomes the posterity; to all appearances the artist acts like a mediumistic being who, from the labyrinth beyond time and space, seeks his way out to a clearing.”
