Published to accompany the first North American  retrospective of his work in more than fifty years,  organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York,  and the Philadelphia Art Museum, the exhibition and  catalogue leverage two of the most important collections  of Duchamp's art in the world to bring together legendary  works for the first time in decades. Lavishly illustrated with  more than 300 works spanning six decades-including  painting, sculpture, readymades, film, photography,  and ephemera-and featuring a deeply researched  chronology interwoven with archival and documentary  material, Marcel Duchamp offers a new generation the  first opportunity to experience the breadth of Duchamp's  revolutionary work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  An expansive introduction by curators Ann Temkin,  Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron explores Duchamp's  radical rethinking of art and the museum, transformation of  authorship, innovative exhibition and installation displays,  and a lifelong dedication to changing the relationship  between art and life. Revealing new dimensions of his  conceptual brilliance, subversive wit, and lasting impact  on generations of artists, Marcel Duchamp is a rich visual  compendium and an essential scholarly resource for  anyone seeking to understand an artist who changed the  course of modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781633451803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 23 Sep 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: New York, United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 26.7(H)x23(L)2040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 2040\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnn Temkin\u003c\/b\u003e is the Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMichelle Kuo\u003c\/b\u003e is Chief Curator at Large and Publisher at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMatthew Affron\u003c\/b\u003e is the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003eDuchamp helps us understand that 'art' shouldn't be thought of as a noun that picks out certain kindsof objects, but as a verb: We 'art' absolutely any object at all by using it to trigger thoughts andconversation.--Blake Gopnik \"The New York Times\"\u003cbr\u003e[Charts] how Duchamp invented contemporary art one idea at a time.--John Vincler \"Cultured\"\u003cbr\u003e[Duchamp is] the reason art today can be gloriously inventive, wonderfully permissive, mystifyingly experimental, beautifully opaque.--Lisa Yin Zhang \"Hyperallergic\"\u003cbr\u003e[Lays] out Duchamp's production in an excellent and richly annotated timeline.--Helen Molesworth \"Artforum\"\u003cbr\u003e[Presents] Duchamp not only as the father of conceptual art but also as a techno-imaginative innovatorand semiotic pioneer who anticipated how we read images, language and reality today.--Elisa Carolle \"The Observer\"\u003cbr\u003eBefore Duchamp, works of art were made by artists. Afterward, art was whatever an artist made.--Marion Maneker \"Puck\"\u003cbr\u003eDuchamp most certainly provided a new model for what being an artist looked like....--Nicole Rudick \"Apollo\"\u003cbr\u003eIn 1917, Marcel Duchamp turned a urinal on its head and called it art. With that, he earned his place in the canon as the great usurper of artistic norms, the enemy of yesteryear's tastemakers, the banisher of everything that came before him, and the godfather of art provocateurs.--Hakim Bishara \"Hyperallergic\"\u003cbr\u003eLove isn't a word, or a concept, that one usually associates with Marcel Duchamp, the modernist master of irony and distance, but love--love of the mind and what it can do, love of bodies and play, love of freedom, love of what art can be, love of women, queerdom, poetry, and chance--is what makes 'Marcel Duchamp' such a wonder.--Hilton Als \"The New Yorker\"\u003cbr\u003eNot all art that works with concepts is meant to be reduced to general communication; some is meant not to, to define a secret code, a specific language. Duchamp plays between the two, and the playing is the art. He's still a prophet in this telling, just one whose prophetic texts haven't yet been exhausted.--Ben Davis \"Artnet\"\u003cbr\u003eThe exhibition will reflect the loops and the reiterations, the false starts and loose ends of a singular career.--Ben ` Luke \"The Art Newspaper\"\u003cbr\u003eThis image-rich book will accompany the king of the readymade's first North American retrospective in 50 years, opening this April at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
