Assembled between 1935-41, Boîte-en-valise is a "traveling museum" of 69 works by Marcel Duchamp that include Fountain, Large Glass, Broyeuse de chocolat, Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy, Tu m', Paris Air, Pliant de voyage, 3 Stoppages Etalon, Bride, Comb, and others.
Duchamp's aim was "to reproduce the paintings and the objects he liked and collect them in a space as small as possible."
If the readymade is that object which should be "a work without an artist to make it," the objects in the Boîte-en-valise upset the concept of the readymade by their quality of being remade readymades....
