I mean c'mon! Not only was this man incredibly babely, he was also intelligent, funny, and practically invented conceptual art.
He was also a bit of a rebel. And a lot of a badass. See above.
Swoon.
I remember first learning about him in my History of Modern Art class (AH 201, bitches!) as an undergrad and just being blown away. Making meta observations and delivering tongue in check call outs and bitch slaps to the art world, Marcel was a smart and saucy. The best combination to be. He talked shit but could back it up. And even if he did shit that pissed you off he'd probably charm the pants off you afterwards. He wouldn't have had to try too hard with me I'll tell you that.
While other undergrad girls had posters of Vin Diesel and Ashton Kutcher up on their walls (yes I'm old and yes the early aughts were dark times) I had photos of Marcel and his work up. Bien-sûr! A project I've been cooking up is to track down everyplace he lived in New York City and take a photo in front of it. Yup, I'm kinda obsessed.
