Gertrude Stein et Pablo Picasso

September 13, 2023–January 28, 2024
Musée du Luxembourg, Paris
museeduluxembourg.fr

This exhibition explores the friendship between Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein, two icons of the twentieth century. Both moved to Paris in the early 1900s, and their status as foreigners affected their roles in the city’s bohemian community as well as their artistic freedom. Examining their closeness and inventiveness, the exhibition considers a century of art, poetry, music, and theater through key figures such as Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Henri Matisse, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, and others.

The Dream of the Museum examines the concept of found objects to show how artists use cultures as source material to update tradition. Beginning with four pioneers of contemporary art—Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Yoko Ono, and Nam June Paik—the exhibition brings together work by twenty-seven artists from across geographies and generations, including Hao Liang and Andy Warhol, who explore chance and found objects in their work.

In celebration of Dada’s one hundredth anniversary in 2016 and the centennial of Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain in 2017, this exhibition examines how artists have incorporated commonplace household items into their work, removing these objects from the context of the home in ways that subvert the experiences of daily life.

Some Aesthetic Decisions
A Centennial Celebration of Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain

May 14–September 3, 2017
NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, Florida
nsuartmuseum.org

One hundred years ago, Marcel Duchamp forever changed the nature of art when he submitted Fountain, a porcelain urinal, to the Society of Independent Artists exhibition in New York. The subsequent rejection of Duchamp’s Fountain by the exhibition’s organizers ignited a controversy that continues today about the definition of art. This exhibition includes work by Jeff Koons, Richard Phillips, Andy Warhol, and others.

À pied d’oeuvre(s)

March 31–July 9, 2017
Monnaie de Paris
www.monnaiedeparis.fr

À pied d’oeuvre(s) examines the history of sculpture through three crucial moments. In 1917, Marcel Duchamp placed a coatrack on the ground and named it Trébuchet (Trap); in 1939, Alberto Giacometti showed a sculpture of a body of an injured woman lying on the floor; in 1960, Yves Klein removed one of his paintings from a wall and covered the space in gesso. These three masterpieces, rarely seen together, initiate a floor-level tour of the Centre Pompidou’s collections and synthesize three key moments from the history of twentieth-century sculpture: in doing so, they embody the exhibition’s aim. Work by Man Ray, Richard Serra, Tatiana Trouvé, and Rachel Whiteread is included.
