Description
In 1912, the artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) began to question his occupation. At the age of twenty-five, he decided to abandon the craft of oil painting. He also strove to make himself aloof from the art world and to imagine more independent ways of being an artist. Duchamp went on to become one of the most innovative and original figures in the history of modern art. Across six decades, he was associated with Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism. Yet Duchamp’s practice was one of continuous self-reinvention, impossible to consolidate under any singular label.
The first major U.S. retrospective dedicated to Marcel Duchamp in more than 50 years, this exhibition will explore the range and arc of this artist’s illustrious career. "Marcel Duchamp" will feature a chronological display of more than 300 works of painting, sculpture, film, photography, printed matter, exhibition design, and the unclassifiable works known as readymades. It will present Duchamp’s most renowned creations, including "Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)" (1912); "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" (1915-23), his magnum opus; the iconoclastic "Fountain" (1917) and "L.H.O.O.Q." (1919); "Box in a Valise" (1935-41), the artist’s portable museum of his own creations in miniature; and "Étant donnés" (1946-1966), Duchamp’s final major work in which he reflected upon his lifelong artistic obsessions.
"Marcel Duchamp" will be on view at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York from April 12 through August 22, 2026. Following its presentation at MoMA, the exhibition will be on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from October 10, 2026, through January 31, 2027. A version of the exhibition will be presented at the Grand Palais in Paris in Spring 2027, where it will be co-produced by the Centre Pompidou and the Grand Palais Rmn.
