About
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is proud to be the largest repository in the world of works by the French-American artist Marcel Duchamp (1889-1967).
A less well-known fact is that Duchamp came from a family of artists. One of his two older brothers, Jacques Villon, was a painter and printmaker, and the other, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, was a sculptor. Together with Marcel, they gained notice as members of the Cubist group in 1912. Their sister Suzanne Duchamp, a painter, launched Tabu, an offshoot of the Dada movement, in 1920.
The installation "Duchamp Brothers & Sister" presents works by all four Duchamp siblings, offering visitors a chance to explore these artists’ interconnected lives and works.
"Duchamp Brothers & Sister" coincides with a major retrospective of Marcel Duchamp, co-organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, during that exhibition’s initial stop at the former institution before it comes to ours in the autumn of 2026.
