Warhol? Rauschenberg or Oldenburg for me.
Duchamp all the way here. Not the greatest craftsman, but a brilliantly subversive mind, and hilarious.

I'm glad u feel that way. I feel Duchamp 's work is incredibly transcendent, hilariously unpretentious and way ahead of his time. He would have appreciated your huckle batty gif, but probably not as much as I do.

Duchamp and Picasso are my two favorite artists. Duchamp's ideas are incredible. Nude, Bride and R.Mutt are great pieces. Love his readymades. Picasso for his output, the depth and variety.
Off the top of my head, also love Warhol, Rauschenberg, Miro, Dali, Matisse, Kline, Gicaometti, Lichtenstein, Klee, Mondrian, Beuys, Rothko, Bacon, Freud, van Gogh, Gauguin, Hopper, Moore, Modigliani, de Chirico, Calder, Koons and Damien Hirst.
Duchamp's ideas are alive and well today.

Actually, I can understand why a lot of folks don't like Koons and Hirst. I just remember walking into LA's MOCA in the mid 90s and being blown away by Koons basketball in a water-filled aquarium. It reminded me of the feeling I got the first time I first saw Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel (the attaching a common front bicycle wheel and fork to the seat of a common stool) or as the Comte de Lautréamont describes this type of magical encounter: "the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella."
I really haven't followed the art world for the last decade or so, but other contemporary artists I like are Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, Eric Fischl and Jenny Holzer.
...but my favorite current artist(s) is are Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories. SRL is scientists and artists who take, present, art outside the staid setitng of a museum's four walls to the people in the streets to provoke, educate and entertain. The performances are quite the spectacle.
Since its inception in 1978 SRL has operated as an organization of creative technicians and technical creatives dedicated to re-directing the techniques, tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare. Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special-effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire. Humans are present only as audience or operators

Paula Rego, Lucien Freud, Anselm Kiefer are a few (somewhat) modern artists I enjoy.
