Marcel Duchamp (born July 28, 1887 in Blainville-Crevon, France, † October 2, 1968 in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris, France), actually Henri Robert Marcel Duchamp, was a French-American painter and object artist. He is a co-founder of conceptual art and is one of the pioneers of Dadaism and Surrealism. The Prix Marcel Duchamp is named after him. Duchamp, along with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, is generally regarded as one of the three artists who helped shape the revolutionary developments in the visual arts in the first decades of the 20th century and who are responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture. Duchamp had an immense impact on 20th- and 21st-century art. By the time of World I he had rejected the work of many of his fellow artists (such as Henri Matisse) as "retinal" art, intended only to please the eye. Instead, Duchamp wanted to use art to serve the mind.

Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
