Then came <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/michael-bloomberg\/\" title=\"Michael Bloomberg\" class=\"company-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Bloomberg<\/a>. In 2023, Bloomberg Philanthropies signed a massive lease for much of the building from landlord <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/aby-rosen\/\" title=\"Aby Rosen\" class=\"company-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aby Rosen<\/a>&#8216;s RFR Holding, effectively displacing several gallery tenants, including Gagosian. A year later, Bloomberg escalated the shift further by purchasing the entire building outright for roughly $560 million. Yet Gagosian ultimately never left the historic address. Instead, the gallery has just unveiled a new 2,275-square-foot ground-floor space designed by Caplan Colaku Architecture\u2014the studio also behind the renovation of Gagosian&#8217;s Chelsea flagship and past projects for Gladstone and Gavin Brown&#8217;s enterprise\u2014which opened with an extensive presentation dedicated to <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/marcel-duchamp\/\" title=\"Marcel Duchamp\" class=\"company-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marcel Duchamp<\/a>, paired with a separate exhibition of early works by <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/robert-rauschenberg\/\" title=\"Robert Rauschenberg\" class=\"company-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Rauschenberg<\/a> from the Cy Twombly Foundation. Timed to coincide with <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/2026\/04\/artists-marcel-duchamp-moma-exhibition-sexuality-gender\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MoMA&#8217;s major Duchamp survey<\/a>, the Gagosian exhibition centers on some of the artist&#8217;s most iconic readymades, which Duchamp eventually reproduced in editions after many of the originals had been lost and dealers increasingly pushed to establish a market around his work. The examples on view were produced with the assistance of Italian gallerist <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/person\/arturo-schwarz\/\" title=\"Arturo Schwarz\" class=\"company-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arturo Schwarz<\/a> and include replicas of seminal works such as Roue de bicyclette (Bicycle Wheel)\u2014made in 1964, after the lost 1913 original, the only surviving example not currently held in a major institutional collection\u2014alongside Fountain (1964, after the lost 1917 original), L.H.O.O.Q. (1964, after the 1919 original), Porte-bouteilles (Bottle Dryer) (1964, after the lost 1914 original) and Bo\u00eete-en-valise (1935-1949; contents 1935-1941). The fact that these readymades are themselves replicas only further complicates and subverts conventional ideas of artistic integrity, originality and authorship that Duchamp spent his career dismantling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gagosian, 980 Madison Through August 22, 2026 For decades, 980 Madison Avenue stood as one of the central&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":792183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[323363,323372,80840,323370,9530,37596,2677,648,1032,323365,323373,323361,1033,171,2678,180036,142515,979,323368,26344,323364,323371,274364,323374,323369,323375,222594,323376,323366,12862,405,403,199847,323362,323367,93926,67,132,68,139033,323377],"class_list":{"0":"post-792182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-aby-rosen","9":"tag-adam-d-weinberg","10":"tag-america-united-states","11":"tag-anne-laure-lemaitre","12":"tag-art-market","13":"tag-art-reviews","14":"tag-artists","15":"tag-arts","16":"tag-arts-and-design","17":"tag-arturo-schwarz","18":"tag-bony-ramu00edrez","19":"tag-david-hammons","20":"tag-design","21":"tag-entertainment","22":"tag-exhibitions","23":"tag-firelei-bu00e1ez","24":"tag-gagosian","25":"tag-galleries","26":"tag-giuseppe-penone","27":"tag-hauser-wirth","28":"tag-jannis-kounellis","29":"tag-john-emslie","30":"tag-kelly-akashi","31":"tag-lisson-gallery","32":"tag-lucia-hierro","33":"tag-marc-straus","34":"tag-marcel-duchamp","35":"tag-marianne-boesky-gallery","36":"tag-mark-manders","37":"tag-michael-bloomberg","38":"tag-new-york","39":"tag-new-york-city","40":"tag-robert-rauschenberg","41":"tag-sanford-biggers","42":"tag-stephen-lichty","43":"tag-tanya-bonakdar-gallery","44":"tag-united-states","45":"tag-unitedstates","46":"tag-us","47":"tag-white-cube","48":"tag-yve-yang-gallery"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
