In the spring of 2023, the Delta will host a prestigious exhibition around the work of Marcel Duchamp, one of the most important figures in the history of Western art of the 20th century and the most influential for the development of art. contemporary.
Through a wide selection of works, editions, drawings and documents, this exhibition, organized in close collaboration with the private collection Alychlo, will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the singular universe of this major artist, both humorous, gritty, conceptual, demanding and complex. It will allow the public to discover or rediscover the themes that have irrigated his career (such as pictorial theory, the museum question, love, eroticism, irony, etc.), but also, of course, the famous “readymade”, an iconoclastic invention which never ceases to amaze us that it could find its place in the museum, nor to note, even today, the resonances in contemporary creation.
The presentation of the work of Marcel Duchamp will also be an opportunity to operate a double contextualization, family on the one hand and Belgian on the other.
In addition to his work, the public will also be able to admire works by Marcel Duchamp’s brothers and sisters: Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Jacques Villon and Suzanne Duchamp, who also held an important place within the artistic avant-garde of the early 20th century. century and whose work recalls the cubist and futurist tendencies against which Marcel began his career before turning his back on them in favor of a resolutely seditious and libertarian Dadaist spirit.
