THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1974 POSTER FOR THE  MARCEL DUCHAMP RETROSPECTIVE   

 This Marcel Duchamp Retrospective was 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 dates of the exhibition and the three venues are as follows: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Sept 22-Nov 11, 1973, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Dec 3, 1973-Feb 10, 1974 & The Art Institute of Chicago, Mar 9 - Apr 14, 1974.
