The National Galleries of Scotland describes the original box as collapsing the distinction between original and reproduction, functioning almost like a travelling salesman’s case or portable museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor The New Rare, this is especially exact: a catalogue for a box that is itself already a catalogue, archive, exhibition, and reproduction system. The booklet repeats the logic of the work in paper form — diagram, checklist, image, caption, sequence. It does not simply document Duchamp’s travelling box; it becomes another portable support for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign features include black square wrappers, grey\/white cover typography, a silhouetted Duchamp profile image, internal diagrams of the open box, numbered checklists, bilingual work titles, and black-and-white reproductions throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition.
