Catalogue Essay
In 1964, Duchamp recovered a group of 79 unpublished notes (dating from 1914-23) concerning the Large Glass that had been excluded from his original selection of notes for the Green Box, 1934. As most of the notes were written in the infinitive, he titled this publication A l'Infinitif.
