"The exhibition will reflect the loops and the reiterations, the false starts and loose ends of a singular career. It will do so through an apparently simple idea: chronology."
"Duchamp not only made works, but remade them in a kind of maniacal way, with replicas made by him and others. Some of the earliest works no longer exist."
"You're not going to see the physical thing until it was literally made. And so the strangeness of that line is a key aspect of the exhibition."
The Museum of Modern Art in New York is hosting a long-awaited exhibition of Marcel Duchamp, 53 years after the last major survey. Co-curators Ann Temkin, Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron emphasize the exhibition's focus on Duchamp's unique artistic process, including his tendency to remake works and the significance of chronology. The exhibition will showcase the evolution of his art, including lost readymades and replicas, highlighting the complexities and delays characteristic of Duchamp's career.
