This book serves as a critical analysis of postmodernism in the visual arts since the 1960s, focusing primarily on American texts that deem Marcel Duchamp to be the originator of postmodern art. Amelia Jones argues that through his 'readymades' Duchamp has paradoxically served in a paternal role for post-1960s American artists, critics, and art historians, who have attempted to construct a new tradition of artistic practice that counters the masculinist ideologies of Abstract Expressionism and Greenbergian modernism.
