"The inaugural exhibition at Gagosian's new Uptown location will center on Duchamp's famous 'readymades,' including a replica series first exhibited over six decades ago."
"In 1964, Duchamp and his dealer commemorated the 50th anniversary of the artist's first readymade, 'Bicycle Wheel,' by creating a limited edition set of 14 authorized replicas."
"Since their inception, Duchamp's readymades have maintained a polarizing influence on modern and contemporary art, provoking conversations about the nature of art itself."
Gagosian gallery's new exhibition will focus on Marcel Duchamp's readymades, opening on April 25. This exhibition coincides with Duchamp's first U.S. retrospective in over 50 years at the Museum of Modern Art. The gallery has relocated to 980 Madison Avenue after vacating its previous headquarters. Duchamp's readymades, which are mass-produced objects designated as art, have significantly influenced modern and contemporary art since their introduction. The exhibition marks a new beginning for both the gallery and the artist's legacy in New York City.
