SUZANNE DUCHAMP. RETROSPECTIVE

The SCHIRN is dedicating the world’s first comprehensive solo exhibition to the pioneer of the Dada movement, Suzanne Duchamp (1889–1963). The retrospective shows her multifaceted oeuvre as an artist whose work extended over a period of fifty years and who contributed to the development of Dadaism during the 1910s and 1920s.

Although Duchamp’s works are represented in world-famous collections and she enjoyed excellent connections during her lifetime, her artistic significance long remained overshadowed by her brothers Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Jacques Villon, as well as her husband Jean Crotti.

The retrospective shows around seventy works, some of which were rediscovered as the result of extensive research, including experimental collages, figurative representations, abstract paintings, and historical photographs, as well as important finds from the archives.
