This catalogue and the exhibition it accompanies offer a window on the roles of Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Cornell, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg in the history of modernism, affording a particular focus on the multiplicity and complexity of their exchanges. Duchamp's Green Box emerges as the animating agent in the exhibition, the artist's mysterious, aphoristic notes and sketches to the Large Glass resonating over and over again with the other artist's works. |
