Abstract:
The Marcel Duchamp Exhibition Records contain material created and collected by the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art (formerly the Twentieth Century Art Department), Philadelphia Museum of Art during the course of organizing and/or participating in exhibitions about the artist Marcel Duchamp.

The Twentieth Century Art Department of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, now called the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, was established in 1971. Museum Director Evan Turner appointed Anne d'Harnoncourt, a Marcel Duchamp scholar and curator, as the first department head. In this capacity, d'Harnoncourt oversaw the development of the new department's acquisitions, installation and other programs, and, in conjunction with Kynaston McShine and others from The Museum of Modern Art, organized its first exhibition, the seminal 1973 retrospective "Marcel Duchamp." This was a fitting inaugural exhibition for the Department given the Museum's unparalleled collection of Duchamp's work, most of which was acquired through the 1950 gift of the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection. Following her appointment as the Museum's Director in 1982, d'Harnoncourt continued to work with the staff of the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art to produce original Duchamp scholarship and exhibitions, most significantly the Museum's 1987 "A propos of Duchamp" exhibition, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Duchamp's birth, in which virtually everything by Duchamp which the Museum owned at that time was displayed.

In addition to organizing exhibitions internally, the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art supports outside institutions in their preparation of Duchamp exhibitions, most commonly through loans and advice. In the past thirty years, the Museum has lent works to several important shows, including those at the Musee national d'art Moderne (France), the Seibu Bijutsukan, the Fundacio Joan Miro, and the Palazzo Grassi. In addition, d'Harnoncourt and other department curators have contributed scholarship and advice. For example, d'Harnoncourt's essay "Before the Glass: reflections on Marcel Duchamp before 1915" was published in the Seibu Bijutsukan "Exhibition of Marcel Duchamp" catalog, and she traveled to Japan to present a slide lecture.

The Marcel Duchamp Exhibition Records contain correspondence, planning and installation records, clippings, ephemera, photographs, reference material, and other institutional records generated by the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art (formerly the Twentieth Century Art Department), during the course of organizing and/or participating in seven exhibitions concerning Marcel Duchamp: "Marcel Duchamp" (Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and The Art Institute of Chicago, 1973-1974); "Marcel Duchamp" (Musee National d'Art Moderne (France), 1977); "Exhibition of Marcel Duchamp" (Seibu Bijutsukan, 1981); "Marcel Duchamp" (Fundacio Joan Miró, 1984); "A propos of Duchamp" (Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1987); "Marcel Duchamp at Blainville" (Blainville-Crevon, 1991); and "Marcel Duchamp" (Palazzo Grassi, Venice, 1993). The collection also inlcudes limited and primarily registrarial information concerning the loan of two paintings to the "Duchamp Memorial Exhibition" (American Academy of Arts and Letters, 1970).

Documentation related to each exhibition comprises a series. The title of each series is based upon the name of the primary organizing institution, the official name of the exhibition and its year. Series are arranged chronologically in ascending order.

2003. The following items related to the 1987 "Apropos of Marcel Duchamp" exhibition were given by Conrad C. M. Arensberg on Feb. 18, 2003. Photocopies of one ALS from Anne d'Harnoncourt to CCMA dated Oct. 5, [1987], an invitation to the opening, a clipping regarding the Duchamp shower curtain from the Wall Street Journal dated Oct. 9, 1987, an article regarding Walter and Louise Arensbergs' art collection from the Philadelphia Inquirer dated Oct. 4, 1987, and an undated clipping of an exhibition review.

Transferred from the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Archives, July 2001.

Scope and Content Note

Material pertaining to the retrospective exhibition "Marcel Duchamp," co-curated by Anne d'Harnoncourt of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Kynaston McShine of The Museum of Modern Art. In addition to these venues, the show traveled to The Art Institute of Chicago. This exhibition, the third retrospective dedicated to Marcel Duchamp and the first organized following the artist's death, was a fitting inaugural exhibition of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's newly formed Twentieth Century Art Department. The show highlighted one of the Department's and, indeed the Museum's, strengths--its unrivaled collection of Duchamp works, the majority of which came to the Museum through the 1950 gift of the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection.

The records, particularly those in the "Research," "Reference material" and "Photographs" subseries, document the extensive scholarly research conducted by the organizers, particularly that of Anne d'Harnoncourt who compiled a comprehensive chronology of Duchamp's life and work for the catalog. Of particular interest are several folders of correspondence with Alexina Duchamp, the widow of Marcel Duchamp, who answered research questions and lent several works to the exhibition. Material in the "Loan records," "Planning and installation records" and "Budget" subseries document these administrative and curatorial aspects of the exhibition. The "Catalog" subseries contains drafts of scholarly essays, remembrances, checklists, and other catalog sections, as well as correspondence and contracts with contributors. The "Clippings" and "Ephemera" subseries include published materials, such as magazine and newspaper articles, invitations, press releases, and newsletters related to the exhibition and its programs.

Scope and Content Note

General correspondence primarily from and to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but also The Museum of Modern Art (co-organizer of the exhibition) and The Art Institute of Chicago (third venue of the exhibition). Topics covered include preliminary exhibition ideas; provenance and biographical research on Duchamp and his works; press coverage of the exhibition; thank-you notes; and visitor responses to the exhibition. Also includes several cover letters from various correspondents forwarding copies of Duchamp's correspondence and other reference material. There is a significant amount of correspondence with Alexina Duchamp, widow of Marcel Duchamp, concerning the planning of the exhibition, as well as her gift of Duchamp material to the Museum.

Arrangement

Alphabetical by correspondence. Visitor responses are filed together and last.
