フィラアデルフィアの自転車専用レーンHaving just come from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we were struck by the similarity of a Center City bike lane icon to Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2).
Duchamp's work was a sensation at the Armory Show of contemporary art in February 1913 held in New York; it now resides in the Philadelphia Museum.
The Cubist work was bought at the Armory Show for three hundred dollars, and then later repurchased by Walter Arensberg, who was a patron of the Art Museum.
Today, the work has reappeared in modified form on the streets of Philadelphia, where it is ubiquitous if not quite as sensational.
