Marcel Duchamp Is Stripped Bare at MoMA

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has opened "Marcel Duchamp," the first retrospective of the artist on this continent in over 50 years. Curated by Ann Temkin, Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron, the exhibition is organized strictly chronologically and features Duchamp's most famous works—including his revolutionary readymades like *Fountain* (1917) and *Bicycle Wheel* (1913)—often shown only in photographic reproduction or as later refabricated copies, replicas, and miniatures from his *Box in a Valise* series. The show highlights how Duchamp's original objects have been lost or dematerialized, forcing viewers to confront the very definition of an artwork.

derek jeter red grooms sculpture

Miami-Dade County has granted permission to the Miami Marlins, led by CEO Derek Jeter, to move Red Grooms's massive kinetic sculpture *Homer* from its original location inside Marlins Park to a new outdoor plaza called the Marlins Park Art Walk. The 73-foot-tall, $2.5 million artwork, which activates with water jets and spinning figures after every Marlins home run, has been opposed by the 81-year-old artist, who argues the un-weatherized piece will be damaged by the elements. Grooms and his wife have publicly appealed to keep the sculpture in place, but the county's Art in Public Places board approved the relocation, with the team facing a $2,000-a-day fine if the work is not reinstalled by January 1, 2020.

What’s Left to Learn from Marcel Duchamp?

The article examines Marcel Duchamp's enduring influence on contemporary art, focusing on his readymades such as "Fountain" (1917) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1913/1951). It notes that a major survey co-organized by the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 70 years after Duchamp predicted his true public would emerge in 50 to 100 years, reaffirms his status as the most influential artist of the past century. The piece discusses how Duchamp's practice of selecting and presenting ordinary objects as art—from a urinal to a snow shovel—once shocked the art world but now seems quaint compared to later works like Maurizio Cattelan's taped banana.
