Arranged by the museum\u2019s curator Walter Hopps, their meeting took place at the Green Hotel, where Duchamp stayed during his time in Pasadena. Kienholz later transcribed this encounter into the tableau <i>Sollie 17<\/i>, 1979-80 (pictured top). One might also see a connection between Duchamp\u2019s readymade<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/learn\/moma_learning\/themes\/dada\/marcel-duchamp-and-the-readymade\"> <i>Bicycle Wheel,&nbsp;<\/i>1913<\/a>&nbsp;(bottom left)&nbsp;and Kienholz\u2019s assemblage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/exhibition.cfm?tExhibition_id=683\"><i>The Sky is Falling Act One,&nbsp;<\/i>1963<\/a> (bottom right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both artists shared a mutual respect for each other\u2019s work. In the exhibition catalogue for <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/exhibition.cfm?tExhibition_id=339\">Kienholz: A Retrospective<\/a><\/i>, Walter Hopps wrote:&nbsp;\u201cIn 1963, the Surrealist dealer Alexander Iolas (through the arrangement with Virginia Dwan) was the first in New York to give Kienholz an exhibition. Marcel Duchamp saw that show\u2026 I asked him how he liked Kienholz\u2019s exhibition, he leaned back, laughed and laughed, and slapped his hands on the table.&nbsp;\u2018Marvelously vulgar artist. Marvelously vulgar. I like that work.\u2019 When I told Kienholz about Duchamp\u2019s comment, he was surprised\u2026&nbsp;\u2018Well that\u2019s nice. I like his work too.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See work by both artists in the concurrent L.A.
