Overview
- Gagosian, which announced the plan Monday, opens a rebuilt ground‑floor space on April 25 with Marcel Duchamp readymades timed to MoMA’s new retrospective.
- The exhibition features 1964 replicas authorized by the artist with dealer Arturo Schwarz, including Fountain and Bicycle Wheel.
- The gallery says its 1964 Bicycle Wheel is the only surviving example not held by a major museum.
- A spokesperson declined to say whether the works are for sale or on loan, a reminder that top‑tier historical shows often blur the line between exhibitions and potential deals.
- The move marks a restart at 980 Madison after the gallery lost much of its longtime footprint to Bloomberg Philanthropies, returning to a building that also hosted a Duchamp show in 1965.
