Étant Donnés, Duchamp’s last major work, has been described by Jasper Johns as “the strangest work of art in any museum”. What at first looks like an boarded-up wooden door is actually a tableau visible only through two peep holes, which reveal a half-hidden naked woman in a landscape. Duchamp worked on the piece in secret for 20 years, while even his friends thought he had given up his art, and it was only revealed to the public when it was posthumously installed in the museum. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its first display, and in memory of the late director Anne d’Harnoncourt, who oversaw the original installation as a 25-year-old assistant, the museum has organised this show of 80 studies, photographs, erotic objects and other documents.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art launches a major show of abstract expressionist Arshile Gorky, which tours to Tate London and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles next year. The show examines Gorky’s entire career from the early 1920s until his suicide in 1948, and includes 180 works of art. It includes work in so-called “creation chambers”, based on descriptions of the artist’s studio in Union Square, New York, where some of his best-known paintings are shown alongside preparatory drawings.
