When Marcel Duchamp presented his urinal as a readymade sculpture, that gesture barely got covered. His truly newsworthy move was to rethink where and how art was shown.

Blake Gopnik is an author, critic and art historian based in New York. The Guardian declared 
Gopnik's definitive biography of Andy Warhol a "mesmerizing book, as much art history and philosophy as it is biography," while his latest book, The Maverick's Museum: Albert Barnes and his 
American Dream, was headlined in the New York Times as a "Vivid, Engrossing Biography of an Art World Contrarian." Gopnik was the longtime chief art critic of the Washington Post and then 
Newsweek and is now a contributing critic at the New York Times. He has a PhD in art history from the University of Oxford.
