This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Shuzo Takiguchi and Marcel Duchamp" held at the Chiba City Museum of Art in 2011. Although it is a small book, it is a large book of nearly 350 pages and is very rich in illustrations and diagrams. The white-based design (by Taishiro Mori) with plenty of white space is also stylish. Shuzo Takiguchi has been present at art scenes in a wide range of fields, including avant-garde art, poetry, photography, film, design, and music, and has engaged in critical activities while interacting with artists. Since the 1960s, he has distanced himself from criticism and has become active as an artist, engaging in writing and creative activities. His photography has had a great influence on many artists, including Seiji Otsuji and Yoshiko Okaue. When Takiguchi visited Salvador Dali in 1958, he had a fateful encounter with the master Marcel Duchamp, and since then, they have continued to interact through letters and works. It is said that this spiritual bond and connection continued even after Duchamp's death in 1968. This exhibition introduces this relationship between Takiguchi and Duchamp through a variety of works and letters.
