More than fifty years after the last major American survey of his work, Marcel Duchamp offers a landmark retrospective of one of the twentieth century's most influential and enigmatic artists. Spanning six decades and featuring more than 300 works, the exhibition traces Duchamp's radical reimagining of art—from his early paintings and groundbreaking readymades to his experimental films, photography, and iconic installations.
Best known for challenging conventional ideas of authorship, originality, and artistic practice, Duchamp transformed the course of modern and contemporary art. Organized by the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this sweeping exhibition brings together masterpieces including Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2), Fountain, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), and Étant donnés, offering a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of an artist whose ideas continue to shape the art world today.
