Marcel Duchamp's Boîte-en-valise: The Museum of Metamorphosis

Series F

For Series F, Duchamp added twelve more reproductions to the Boîte, raising the total number of items to eighty. These consisted of prints in black and white and in color made between 1963 and 1965; Duchamp divided them among three new "feuilles libres" (loose folders). The edition, issued in 1966, included seventy-five copies, all bearing the signature "Marcel Duchamp."
