Duchamp's evocative dust, Grayson's Brexit pots and Velázquez with garlic – the week in art

Richard Wright beguiles Glasgow, modern art takes London, and a dog urinates in New York – all in your weekly dispatch

Exhibition of the week

A Handful of Dust

Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp’s collaborative artwork Dust Breeding, a photograph of dust building up on Duchamp’s masterpiece The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even, is the starting point for this far from dusty look at the history of modern art. The show also includes Walker Evans, Jeff Wall and Gerhard Richter.

Masterpiece of the week

Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, by Diego Velázquez (probably 1618)
In this great early work, painted when Velázquez was still in his home town, Seville, a poignantly portrayed young servant goes miserably about her chores. The ingredients for the dish she is preparing make a superb still life: garlic, eggs, fish and a dried chilli pepper from the Americas, for Seville was the centre of shipping between Spain and the New World. Religious allegory aside, this is a rare portrait of the oppressed in history.
• National Gallery, London.

Image of the week

Untitled, 1966, by Susan Te Kahurangi King
Susan Te Kahurangi King has not spoken since she was a child. But the 66-year-old New Zealand artist – recently diagnosed with autism – has drawn, methodically and expressively, all her life. Her family collected her works and are now exhibiting them to give a fascinating insight into her world.
• Marlborough Contemporary, London, until 1 July.
