Revitalizing the life and artistic legacy of Suzanne Duchamp, sister of Marcel Duchamp and Dada pioneer in her own right

Suzanne Duchamp (1889-1963) was part of a famous artistic family that included her brothers Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon, and she has been continually overshadowed by her more famous (male) counterparts. In 1920, Francis Picabia wrote, “Suzanne Duchamp does more intelligent things than paint.” As an artist and Dadaist, she developed a delicate, cryptic and humorous visual language. In fact, Duchamp was a leading exponent of Dada in both Europe and the Americas, building upon her brother’s concept of readymades to produce “mechanomorphic” multimedia assemblages.
With over 60 works, many published for the first time, this catalog finally awards Suzanne Duchamp the recognition she deserves in the history of modern art. It showcases her influential work from her Dada period made on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as earlier and later pieces.
