In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, Emily Bahret, production assistant on the Creative Team, talks about her first encounter with Marcel Duchamp’s To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour (1918), and how randomness and chance can bring beauty and unexpected delights.
Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each Friday. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!
