Richard Hamilton. The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1976)
From the third edition limited to 2500 copies. Bound in green paper-covered boards with lettering in white with simulated black punch-out holes on front board and spine.
“A typographic analog of one of the "most complex as well as one of the most rewarding artistic experiences of modern times" (from the appendices).
During the 1930s, Duchamp oversaw the first printed edition of the Green Box, with each of the 94 original notes meticulously reproduced in collotype in exact facsimile (including torn edges, blots, erasures, and the occasional illegibility) and issued loose in a green box, in an edition of 300 with twenty deluxe versions. By 1956, the British artist Richard Hamilton (1922-2011) had worked through the notes to develop a diagram of the areas in the glass to which he believed the subject of each notes relates. Then in 1960, Hamilton and George Heard Hamilton, professor of art history at Yale, produced this English translation of the Green Box, using typography, layout, and graphic design to communicate the intent of the original documents in a new (bound) format, the Green Book. Hamilton's reconstruction of the actual The Large Glass ("Even Again") was exhibited in 1966 at the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle Upon Tyne before traveling to London for the Duchamp retrospective, The Almost Complete Work of Marcel Duchamp, which Hamilton curated at the Tate Gallery.
