Die Schweriner Sammlung Marcel Duchamp

Duchamp-Forschungszentrum

Die Schweriner Sammlung Marcel Duchamp umfasst 91 Arbeiten aus allen Schaffensphasen des Künstlers, darunter Readymades, Plastiken, Grafiken, Plakat- und Buchgestaltungen sowie zwei Versionen seiner berühmten Bôite-en-valise / Schachtel im Koffer (1941/1966).

Bereits 1995 fand die erste Duchamp-Ausstellung Marcel Duchamp – Respirateur mit 117 Leihgaben aus europäischen Museen und Stücken der Sammlung Ronny van de Velde im Staatlichen Museum Schwerin statt. Kurze Zeit später erfolgte der Erwerb der Sammlung van de Velde durch das Staatliche Museum Schwerin.

Dies bedeutete nicht nur für Schwerin, sondern für ganz Deutschland eine kleine Sensation. Neben der bedeutendsten Duchamp-Sammlung im Philadelphia Museum of Art, den Sammlungen der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, der Tate Gallery in London, dem Moderna Museet in Stockholm und der Sammlung des MoMA in New York reiht sich das Staatliche Museum Schwerin mit Kernstücken wie der Grünen Schachtel oder Air de Paris ein. Somit bildet Schwerin einen weiteren Knoten

By World War I, he had rejected the work of many of his fellow artists as “retinal” art, intended only to please the eye. Instead, Duchamp wanted, he said, “to put art back in the service of the mind.”

Born in Normandy in northern France, Duchamp traveled back and forth between Europe and the United States for much of his life. His initial foray into modern art followed the trends of his contemporaries, with his first paintings in the mode of Cézanne and the Impressionists, while after 1910 his work reflects a shift toward Cubism. One of his most important works, Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2) (1912; Philadelphia Museum of Art) (a second version of a work on cardboard from 1911), however, reflects Duchamp’s ambivalent re
