Julien Levy (1906–1981) was an art dealer and owner of Julien Levy Gallery in New York City, important as a venue for Surrealists, avant-garde artists, and American photographers in the 1930s and 1940s.
Duchamp, who was well known for having said “There is no solution, because there is no problem,” designed a Chess endgame with no solution for an exhibition at Julien Levy Gallery in 1943.
The show was to feature unusually small-scale work by Duchamp, alongside the French Surrealist painter Yves Tanguy, and the American collage and assemblage artist, Joseph Cornell.
