Marcel Duchamp’s “Sixteen Miles of String” at the First Papers of Surrealism exhibition, 1942. Duchamp famously hired children in sports gear to play around and jump rope through the exhibition, instructing them that if anyone asked, to say: “Mr. Duchamp told us we could play here.”
Alfred Stieglitz, “The Flatiron”, 1903.
Alfred Stieglitz, “The Steerage”, 1907. While en route to Europe on a transatlantic liner, Stieglitz was staying in the first class cabins but found himself disgusted by the nouveau riche attitudes of his fellow travelers. Wandering to the lower decks, he took this photograph, describing the scene as “sincere” and “authentic”.
