More the criticism is hostile, more the artist should be encouraged. Marcel Duchamp
Marcel Duchamp est mort à Neuilly-sur-Seine le 2 octobre 1968 ; il avait 81 ans. Ses cendres sont déposées dans le caveau familial. Il repose au cimetière monumental de Rouen auprès de ceux de sa famille, dont ses frères Gaston Duchamp - qui prit le pseudonyme de Jacques Villon - et Raymond Duchamp-Villon, ce dernier mort dans l’hôpital militaire de Cannes en 1918. Cette épitaphe de Marcel Duchamp est gravée sur leur tombe : « D’ailleurs, c’est toujours les autres qui meurent. » En hommage à leur mémoire, une pivoine en leur jardin d’éternité.

"Tout ce que j'ai fait d'important pourrait tenir dans une petite valise. " - Marcel Duchamp
"Le grand ennemi de l'art, c'est le bon goût." - Marcel Duchamp
"Un tableau, même abstrait, est de l'art dès qu'on accepte de le regarder comme un tableau, un readymade est tout simplement de l'art." - Marcel Duchamp

"J'ai eu une vie absolument merveilleuse. " - Marcel Duchamp
Beyond works currently in stock, it seemed to me useful to combine business with pleasure by letting you discover others works by artists in my gallery. These artworks, now sold or removed from our website, have been in our stock in the past.
These pages will undoubtedly make it possible for some of you to associate an image with its title or the other way round, for others it will be a good time to discover more on such and such artist. For the sake of confidentiality – the pieces being no longer available – we won't display neither their numbering or their price. For whatever reason, make sure to visit this amazing art database with to date 6441 online works just for your pleasure! Michelle Champetier
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
