Marcel Duchamp: The Book and the Box
Legion of Honor
The subversive Dada/ Surrealist artist with an aptitude for controversy is the focus of an exhibition of seven unconventional works. Defying categorization and blurring the boundaries of book, objet d’art and sculpture are pieces like “Boite,” a leather valise with tiny replicas and photos inside.
