While many artists embraced the original principles of the readymade, Marcel Duchamp’s concept acquired a life of its own from the 1960s onwards and was continually redefined. Some artists were drawn to the beauty of found or industrial objects, incorporating them into their assemblages; others merged art and reality in a forceful, sometimes brutal, manner.
Featuring works by artists such as Vito Acconci, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Manuel Millares, and Jannis Kounellis, this display illuminates the legacies of the readymade from Arte Povera to contemporary art.
