Marcel Duchamp, Notes

description

Large-scale facsimile compendium of notes by Marcel Duchamp. Preface by Pontus Hulten. Introduction and translator's note by Paul Matisse. Includes notes on "Inframince / Infrathin," "Le Grande Verre / The Large Glass," "Projets / Projects," and "Jeux de Mots / Word Plays." "Among Marcel's papers after his death was a package containing notes that dated from 1912 to 1968. It was from this collection that he had chosen the notes that he published in the 'Green Box' of 1934 and the 'White Box' of 1964. Virtually all the others now appear in this book with accompanying transcriptions and translations. A few notes from the 'Green Box' reappear in order to show their verso or to illustrate how they had originally been part of a larger text... Apart from a note on the translation there are neither footnotes nor references. Marcel used to say that explanations explained nothing." -- from the introduction by Paul Matisse. Text in English and French. ISBN in book's colophon is incorrect, linking to a Gerhard Richter title.
