    Well, at risk of being called a neanderthal or troglydyte, I still
    pose the question...have the contemporary metal artists taken more
    from the world of Duchamp and his lineage (the Ready-Made)  than
    they have from the purely ornamental aristocratic jewelry designers
    of the past 100 years?? 

    Bauhaus, Ab X, and Cubism (of which Ducamp was apart of) are all
    undoubted influences...but I look at contemporary art metal
    magazines (Metalsmith, Ornament) and at galleries and I see this
    Duchamp influence abound. Johns, Kosuth, Oldenberg, Ebendorf, Mann
    are all players on the same team in my opinion. All influenced by
    Duchampian thinking.
