Summary

Brancusi & Duchamp: The Art of Dialogue' explores the aesthetic dialogue between Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), two of the most inimitable artists of the 20th century. Brancusi and Duchamp struck up a friendship in the 1910s that endured for decades. This fully illustrated catalog by Paul B. Franklin presents a selection of 80 sculptures, objects, photographs, films and drawings from an international array of public and private collections, as well as a selection of rare archival documents. Highlights include one original Brancusi sculpture and four posthumous casts in polished bronze; numerous vintage photographic prints by the sculptor of some of his most iconic creations; several of Duchamp's readymades; and other works including his chess treatise 'Opposition and Sister Squares Are Reconciled' (1932), the cover of which he designed in collaboration with Brancusi. Exhibition: Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York, USA (20.09.-22.12.2018).
