Untitled from The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Green Box) (La mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même [Boîte verte])

Marcel Duchamp

1934

A collotype reproduction of Marcel Duchamp’s handwritten notebook page and quick sketch, offering a fragment of his experimental, idea-driven process for The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even.

The page feels like a private fragment made public—energetic, looping ink scrawled across a pale grid and punctuated by a small, ambiguous doodle that reads as both mechanical diagram and playful visual pun.

Issued in The Green Box, these reproduced notes helped redefine art as idea and instruction rather than only polished object, a move that anticipates and influences later conceptual art.
