Opening Friday at the Smithsonian: Inventing Marcel Duchamp
Don’t miss the new exhibition “Inventing Marcel Duchamp: The Dynamics of Portraiture” at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. Here’s some of what the New York Times had to say:
(The exhibit) can be viewed as a fascinating exploration either of the process of self-invention or of the artist as self-promoter. Either way, it should arouse sharp reactions. It includes portraits by Man Ray, Francis Picabia and Alfred Stieglitz, as well as self-portraits by Duchamp. There is also a portrait by Andy Warhol, another artist who knew how to mold his public image.
If you go, be sure to check out the accompanying catalog Inventing Marcel Duchamp: The Dynamics of Portraiture, produced by Marquand Books, also found on-line through MIT Press.
