Marcel Duchamp remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, a century after his readymades like *Fountain* (1917) challenged definitions of art. MoMA is opening a major retrospective on April 9, co-organized by Ann Temkin and Michelle Kuo, exploring Duchamp's conceptual legacy. The article profiles four contemporary artists—including Cory Arcangel—who are extending Duchamp's ideas into digital and conceptual realms, such as Arcangel's modified Nintendo game *Super Mario Clouds* (2002).

The Many Forms of Marcel Duchamp

The New Yorker's Hilton Als reviews "Marcel Duchamp," a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, running through August 22, 2026.

The exhibition spans MoMA's entire sixth floor, showcasing Duchamp's shape-shifting practice—from iconic works like "Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)" (1912) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1951) to his readymades and conceptual pieces—emphasizing his rejection of commodification and embrace of intellectual freedom, play, and queer sensibilities.

Ann Temkin, the chief curator of painting and sculpture at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), is featured in a Cultured magazine profile discussing her career and the museum's ambitious upcoming exhibition of Marcel Duchamp, which she and her colleagues have been preparing for five years. The article includes a Q&A where Temkin reflects on her biggest contribution to culture—connecting art and people—and cites John Cage's touring exhibition "Rolywholyover A Circus" as a surprising influence, noting how it demonstrated that a show can itself be a work of art.

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.
