...influences that would inform her sculpture and video work to Amie Siegel, an artist and professor in VES. Her time as studio assistant to Alison Knowles—a Radcliffe artist-in-residence famous for her involvement in the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s alongside Marcel Duchamp and John Cage—helping to prepare lectures, participating in Fluxus performances and contributing to works exhibited in Potsdam’s Fluxus Museum, also impacted Lieberman’s work...

...paid about $300,000 for the piece. Although he is sanguine about the market, the dealer, based in Monte Carlo, Monaco, was staggered by Monday's sale, which also netted records for Piet Mondrian (two of the Dutchman's paintings sold for eight-digit figures), Giorgio de Chirico, Marcel Duchamp, Paul Klee and James Ensor.

...hard celebrity gloss that we now associate with successful art. The fun of this exhibition is the evidence of a whole culture or philosophy gradually building up, more or less by chance, from scratch. What you come away with is a great insight into unconventional ways of making art. Duchamp, Ray and Picabia were not faux rebels or officially sanctioned pets like the art stars of the present moment. Being original for them was not an affectation, but a necessity...
