""Duchamp's Endgame"" is a passionate tale about the fundamental mysteries of what the work by the Godfather of Dada and Pope of Surrealism. This captivating narrative challenges the official canons and takes the reader on a visually fascinating journey through the mesmerizing labyrinths of the artist's imagination.

For the first time since the Summer of 1912, Geers opens our eyes to exactly what Duchamp was doing in Munich and why he stopped painting in 1919. The mystery has been hidden in plain sight for over a century because every work of art he made holds the key to understanding another work of art. Duchamp is only the beginning of an underground history of art that twists and turns through the paintings of Picabia, Ingres, Guercino, Poussin, Dürer and Raphael, all the way back to Leonardo da Vinci.
