 The Richard Mutt Case: Looking For Marcel Duchamp's Fountain
William Glackens may have broken it (Ira Glackens' Biography of his father); Marcel Duchamp may have sold it to Walter Arensberg, who then lost it (Camfield)[31]; Katherine Drier comments in a letter dated 13 April that Fountain was stolen, (although a later letter suggests that Fountain had reappeared)....
Given that Wood was intimately involved with the Arensberg circle -- primarily Duchamp (she shared his studio) and Henry Roche -- the group which would become "New York Dada" we should not consider her autobiography as a necessarily straight forward or factual account of the events.
While Beatrice Wood’s telling of an argument between Walter Arensberg and another Director is inconsistent -- her version stars alternatively George Bellows or Rockwell Kent -- these men, along with Duchamp, were the Hanging Committee, and would be in a position to know Duchamp well.
