...retrospect, Duchamp's ready-mades paved the way for the esthetic appreciation of machine-made objects. These off-the-shelf items presage pop artists' use of beer cans and soup cans as objets d'art. His art in boxes anticipated the present-day boxes of Louise Nevelson and Joseph Cornell. Even his dazzling eye bafflers that spun at 33 r.p.m. are the ancestors of today's kinetic op art. And critics are far from convinced that all the ideas have been mined from his Bride, etc., the first industrial collage...

Three years ago, John Hay Whitney, then the U.S. Ambassador, helped found a group of American Friends of the Tate to add U.S. artists to the gallery. And two Jackson Pollocks were bought with a $70,000 gift from H. J. Heinz II, chairman...
