Suzanne Duchamp: Dada's hidden gem

Suzanne Duchamp came from a famous family of artists: her brothers were Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Jacques Villon. As a Dadaist and painter, she developed a delicate, cryptic, and humorous visual language and made her own unique contribution to the history of art. Nevertheless, she has remained largely unknown to a wider public. This catalogue accompanying her comprehensive retrospective in Zurich and Frankfurt curated by Talia Kwartler in collaboration with Catherine Hug and Ingrid Pfeiffer presents work that Duchamp created during her association with Dada as well as further works works from earlier and later decades. Many of the over 80 artworks, documents, and photographs are being published for the first time. Complemented by latest scholarly findings by internationally renowned authors, this book thus gives Suzanne Duchamp the recognition she deserves.
