About the artwork“To honour Duchamp is to oppose him”, Hanna Wilke said, and Hannah Wilke through the Large Glass directly references Duchamp’s pivotal The Large Glass or The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. Here, she strikes poses familiar from the erotic representation of women in art history and popular culture. The legacy of Marcel Duchamp: the ready-made, is pervasive in minimalism.
