12023-05-15T07:51:21-07:00Series G5plain2023-05-15T08:05:48-07:00Issued in 1968, Series G consisted of 47 boxes, each stamped with the signature "Marcel Duchamp" and signed by Duchamp's wife, Teeny. These boxes feature all eighty reproductions included in Series F, and their outer containers follow the same design, only now clothed in green rather than red leather. When it came time to assemble this last series of Boîtes, the remaining copies of the tiny oilcloth reproductions of the typewriter cover readymade, …pliant,…de voyage [Traveler's Folding Item], fabricated in 1940, had deteriorated, and new ones had to be fabricated for the occasion.
