This exhibition presents the ground-breaking work of two masters of 20th-century art.
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987) are among the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, and they continue to inspire and influence contemporary artists today. Notorious early in their careers and iconoclastic in their eras, both artists are now important touchstones of modern art history. While many have written about their artistic kinship, this exhibition — which pairs dozens of their works and takes advantage of Warhol’s personal papers — is the first to thoroughly explore Warhol’s great interest in and indebtedness to Duchamp. This exhibition is curated by Matt Wrbican, Archivist, The Andy Warhol Museum.
