Kurzbeschreibung
In 1966, Patrick Ireland (then Brian O'Doherty), asked his friend Marcel Duchamp if he could make his portrait. Duchamp agreed, and O'Doherty, an ex-doctor, recorded Duchamp's electrocardiogramm. He then designed an artwork which represented Duchamp's heart-tracing beating on indefinitely on an oscilloscope. While seen by some as a tribute, the Duchamp portrait contests some of Duchamp's primary ideas, and is in fact an anti-Duchamp gesture. This was one of several of what Ireland/O'Doherty called "Gestures" made in the following decade. these include an on-going photographic self-portrait (from 1969), "Wittgenstein 7H to 7B", and a compendium in a box, "Aspen 5+6" (1967), which has been called the first conceptual exhibition outside the gallery.
