Hi, Thanks for writing in. Check out our new journal, toutfait.com re reports of the latest discoveries in Duchamp scholarship.One specific idea--you could write about the latest discovery by Stephen Jay Gould and me(find under the NEWS Section.) It is about Duchamp's 3 Standard Stoppages work at the MOMA. Everyone believed Duchamp's story-- the he only dropped his 3 threads by chance and glued them on canvas where they landed---we found out that this is not the case.MOMA Docents giving tours have inadvertly been telling school children the wrong facts about this work for years--the true facts were on display and hidden in plain sight, ready for spectators to discover as part of the creative process . Good luck with your paper, RRS
