| book description |

Exploring duplicates with Duchamp through the contents of his â€œmuseum boxâ€ In all his work, French visionary Marcel Duchamp (1887â€“1968)â€”Dadaist, Surrealist and progenitor of conceptual artâ€”challenged the traditional dichotomy between original and copy. By replicating his own creations, with variable dimensions and in limited editions, Duchamp radically redefined what constitutes an artwork and, by extension, the identity of the artist. This volume places at its center the Boite en valise No. 1 in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Tellingly signed â€œFrom or by Marcel Duchamp or Rrose Selavy,â€ the portable gallery contains 69 small-scale copies and color reproductions and photographs of the artistâ€™s principal works with additions in pencil, watercolor and ink. The concepts of double, original, copy and replica are discussed and analyzed through numerous works from some of the worldâ€™s most important museums and several private collections.
