MoMA to present first Marcel Duchamp retrospective in over five decades in 2026

Mark your calendar for April 12, 2026, because a significant retrospective on Marcel Duchamp is set to open at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art. This event will last until August 22 and is particularly exciting as it's the first major overview of Duchamp's art in North America in over fifty years, the last being in 1973 with MoMA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition will showcase six decades of his work across various mediums like painting, sculpture, and more. Organized by both MoMA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it’s a rare chance to delve into Duchamp's full artistic impact. He was born in France in 1887 and died in 1968.
