Joan Bakewell Remembers… Marcel Duchamp in Late Night Line-Up

Overview

Joan Bakewell remembers her interview with legendary French artist and sculptor Marcel Duchamp, just months before his death in 1968. At a time when artists were unlikely talk show guests, Marcel came to Television Centre, armed with a couple of his sculptures, and proceeded to talk to Bakewell about his anarchic views on art and his influence on Cubism and the Dada movements, all through vast clouds of cigar smoke.
