Marcel Duchamp

As the most comprehensive publication on Marcel Duchamp to date, this lavishly illustrated volume spans six decades of his creative output, offering a sumptuous visual introduction for newcomers and serving as an indispensable resource for artists and scholars.

More than any other modern artist, Marcel Duchamp challenged and transformed the very definition of art. 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.
