New York, 1926. Marcel Duchamp is organizing a major exhibition of the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancuși’s work, but when the exhibits arrive at the harbor, customs officers refuse to treat them as works of art and impose the import duty applicable to “consumer goods”—to the tune of $40,000. With the help of Duchamp and his other American contacts, Brancuși sues the American government and the court has to decide what constitutes a work of art. The argument, which centers around one of Brancuși’s Bird in Space sculptures, lasts several months, with various other artists and expert witnesses called by Duchamp to answer the questions posed by Brancuși, who is still in Paris. Ironically, the man who coined the term “readymade” finds himself powerless in a country that seems hostile to new and fresh ideas.
