Gagosian is set to expand its footprint at 980 Madison Avenue by opening a new ground-floor gallery space on April 25, 2026. The inaugural exhibition features a landmark presentation of Marcel Duchamp’s iconic readymades, including "Fountain" and "Bicycle Wheel." This selection specifically highlights the 1964 editions produced with Arturo Schwarz, returning these works to the exact building where they made their American debut at the Cordier & Ekstrom Gallery over sixty years ago.
This opening marks a significant strategic expansion for Gagosian in a historic New York art hub and coincides with a major Duchamp retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. By showcasing the artist who pioneered conceptual art and the use of found objects, the gallery reinforces its connection to the foundations of contemporary art history. The exhibition also underscores the enduring market and institutional relevance of Duchamp’s work, featuring rare surviving examples of his readymades that remain in private hands.
