Duchamp in Context: Science and Technology in the Large Glass and Related Works
- Linda Dalrymple Henderson
Marcel Duchamp wrote hundreds of preparatory notes for his main work: two panes of glass entitled “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even”. He intended these notes — many of which discuss science in the early twentieth century — to accompany the glass “somewhat like a Sears Roebuck catalogue” and to equal it in importance Later in his life he denied any serious interest in science and technology.
