""I couldn't imagine a better artist or a more critical body of work to be the first exhibited in our new gallery at 980 Madison, a building he showed in just over 60 years ago," Gagosian said, referring to a 1965 Duchamp show at the Cordier and Ekstrom Gallery in 1965."
""It was pretty devastating to be forced out of 980 Madison, but the gallery was fortunate to have the resources to make a move like this," Gagosian stated in a recent interview."
"The Duchamp show will feature readymades that the artist created in 1964 with the help of the Italian art dealer Arturo Schwarz, including the famed Bicycle Wheel, which is the only surviving example not currently in the collection of a major international institution."
Larry Gagosian is set to unveil a newly renovated gallery space at 980 Madison Avenue on April 25, showcasing Marcel Duchamp's readymades. This exhibition coincides with a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. Gagosian expressed excitement about featuring Duchamp, who previously exhibited at the location over 60 years ago. The show will include significant works like Bicycle Wheel and Fountain, with many pieces being rare editions. Gagosian noted the challenges faced during the transition but emphasized the gallery's resources to adapt and expand.
