This self portrait of Liu Xiaodong in a bathtub was done while he was in New York in 1993 .
Liu Xiaodong told me that , by putting his signature in a specific way along side the white enamel of the bathtub, his intention was a clear reference and tribute to Marcel Duchamp; The comparison of the 2 signatures in Liu Xiaodong's painting and on one of the mythical work of Marcel Duchamp is self explanatory. ——Jean Marc-Decrop Back |
