Landscape of Eros, Through the Peephole
Duchamp’s great monument to eros, though, is the tableau called “Étant Donnés: 1. La Chute d’Eau, 2. Le Gaz d’Éclairage†(“Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gasâ€). Created in almost complete secrecy between 1946 and 1966, it was his final work, and also his weirdest and most mysterious. And it is the subject of a potent exhibition at the museum called “Marcel Duchamp: Étant Donnés†which, among other things, finesses the lingering myth that Duchamp ended up abandoning art for a life of chess and cogitation.

German Viewers Love Their Detectives
BERLIN Consider the show a kind of microcosm of the German Federal Republic. Its producers proudly tout it that way. Each Tatort makes something of its regional roots, with actors speaking in local accents, solving crimes based on local imbroglios; and Germans talk about their favorite Tatort roughly the way they do about their local soccer teams. The Tatort from Monster plays for laughs. In Konstanz, a green swath of the country, the Tatort detectives often crack environmental cases. Hamburg stars a hunky, James Bond-like Turkish detective who works alone; Hanover, a beautiful, clever female detective, also a loner.
