BOÎTE-HORS-DE-VALISE

This is one of the subdivisions of "The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona" (www.davismuseum.com). The collection exclusively reinterprets Marcel Duchamp’s "Boîte-en-valise" through still-life paintings. Originally created between 1935 and 1941, Duchamp’s portable museum—housing miniatures of his seminal works—subverts traditional museum conventions and expands the possibilities of art’s reproduction and mobility. These pictorial interpretations delve into its intimate, transportable relationship with viewers, reevaluating its profound influence on contemporary art and challenging perceptions of cultural institutions.
