“A celebration of Marcel Duchamp, whose radical vision reshaped art—and the role of the artist—forever
Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), more than any other modern artist, challenged and transformed the very definition of art. Over a six-decade career, Duchamp ushered in a new era of creative license—the reverberations of which are still felt today. His pursuits were marked by continuous reinvention and deliberate inconsistency: “I have forced myself to contradict myself,” he once remarked, “in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.”
In celebration of the landmark exhibition Marcel Duchamp—the first major North American retrospective of the artist’s work in over fifty years—and the accompanying publication, join MoMA curators Ann Temkin and Michelle Kuo, book designer Joseph Logan, and artist Josh Kline for an in-depth discussion of Duchamp’s category-defying life and work, and his ongoing legacy and resonance for 21st-century artists.”
