Open the dictionary to the word iconoclast, and you will see a picture of Marcel Duchamp. He challenged the standards and beliefs of the art world and ushered in a new era of creative license – the reverberations of which are still felt in contemporary art today. Duchamp’s imagination was aroused by elements of Cubism, Surrealism and even Pop Art, but his resourcefulness meant continuous self-reinvention and deliberate inconsistency.  Come and learn about his innovative works and the shockwaves they produced and enjoy the blockbuster Duchamp retrospective that opens at the Museum of Modern Art on April 12, 2026.
