Marcel Duchamp inaugurates Gagosian's new ground-floor space at 980 Madison Avenue — the same building where Duchamp's readymade editions made their American debut at Cordier & Ekstrom in 1965. The exhibition brings together iconic readymades produced in 1964 with Italian gallerist Arturo Schwarz, including Fountain, Bicycle Wheel, Bottle Dryer, and L.H.O.O.Q. — editions that memorialized a lost original oeuvre while subverting authorship and originality. The presentation coincides with Duchamp's first US retrospective since 1973, currently on view at MoMA.
