In the context of The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, analyze the The Green Box of the Boxes.
In 1934, Duchamp made a new box that contained new preparatory notes for The Large Glass, a collection of eight years of ideas, reflections, thoughts; 93 documents in total (written notes, drawings, photographs).Each of those was lithographed and printed on paper that was similar to the paper he used in his preparations. Printed in an edition of 320 (with 20 containing an original work numbered I to XX; a series called the "luxury edition"), the final work was nicknamed La Boîte verte (The Green Box) and bears the inscription "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" in punched-out caps. The publisher is listed as Rrose Sélavy, Through André Breton, Duchamp explained in 1932 that he intended to give the notes a public reading.Copies of The Green Box are held by museums including Tate Britain, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum.
