Taken from a video about Peter Blake’s Tate exhibition, Blake thanks Marcel Duchamp for taking the step of questioning what art is and delving into the role of the spectator in art. I feel the Punk movement of the seventies would not have come about if it wasn’t for Marcel Duchamp’s readymade artworks and rebellious personality. Jamie Reid wouldn’t have put a safety pin through the Queen’s lip and the Sex Pistols wouldn’t have changed Rock ‘n’ Roll and fashion forever.
