New Haven: The Readymade Press, 1957. First edition. Printed paper boards, with the dust jacket. Book about fine with the slightest rubbing to the corners; jacket is price-clipped and has some edgewear to the top edge with some tiny chips.
One of 400 copies printed, designed by Henry Steiner of the Graphic Arts Department at Yale. Translated and with a preface by George Heard Hamilton. Duchamp's "La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même," also known as the "Large Glass," was "an art form without parallel, a unique marriage of visual and linguistic concepts." The Green Box was published in a limited edition in 1934 with the various documents reproduced in facsimile as individual items contained in a box, encompassing photographs, full-page drawings, diagrams, various typographic formats, annotations, vignettes, and musical notation. This translation of twenty-five "jottings" "have been chosen to illustrate the poetic and philosophical magic of his thought." Hamilton later noted that the "Bride" is "one of the inexplicable and inexplicably great works of art of our century... we begin to comprehend it, if not to understand it, when we realize that the solution is in itself insoluble." Duchamp's Duchampian rejoinder, "there is no solution because there is no problem.".

Description:
New Haven: The Readymade Press,, 1957. The artist's notes on the "The Large Glass" First edition, first printing, one of only 400 copies, scarce in the jacket. This title publishes for the first time in book form, and the first time in English, a selection of the author's notes on the composition of his ground-breaking work, La mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même ("The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even"). In 1934, Duchamp published The Green Box, an edition of 20 green boxes collecting 94 loose facsimile documents pertaining to the conception and execution of La mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même, more commonly known as "The Bride", or "The Large Glass". Here 25 of the more conceptual, philosophical notes are reproduced. Ostensibly an insight into Duchamp's method, the "'commentaries' on the figures and forms depicted in the 'Large Glass' were anything but explanatory. No less ambiguous or freely interpretable than the visual forms in the glass painting itself, these…
