The essential companion to MoMA's monumental 'Marcel Duchamp'

Last week, MoMA’s highly-anticipated Marcel Duchamp survey opened at last, and the echoes have not ceased to reverberate throughout the city and the international art world—with no end in sight. The first North American retrospective of the artist’s work in more than fifty years—featuring the world’s largest collection of Duchamp’s work—this historic exhibition travels to Philadelphia in the fall, where iconic pieces like Fountain (1950 replica, after a lost 1917 original), featured here, will reunite with several works that are too delicate or entrenched to be moved, including the Large Glass, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1915–1923) and the haunting (perhaps haunted) assemblage, Étant donnés (1946–1966). Certainly, this is a show that many art lovers will want to see more than once. We congratulate the curators, Anne Tempken and Michelle Kuo from MoMA and Matthew Affron from the PMA. The full breadth of their work, their research and their scholarship can perhaps only be appreciated in the definitive exhibition catalog, featuring 1000 color reproductions over 360 pages.
