"So long, Marcel. Well, that's over. It has been a truism of the past 100 years, since marcel Duchamp re-presented an everyday object as a work of art, that the most interesting, the most relevant, the most advanced art grappled with its place in the world and as a part of that world, whether on the level of intention or consumption. 2010 was the year when the most visible, talked about, written of, bought and sold contemporary art took flight from the viscissitudes of the everyday, and definitely separated itself from the urgencies of life on this planet."

- Laura Hoptman, curator in the Department of Painting and Drawings, MoMa, New York, U.S.A, quoted in Frieze Art Magazine.
