Exhibition flyer (Designed by Kato Katsuya)

The third replica of Marcel Duchamp’s masterpiece, The Bride Stripped by Her Bachelors, Even, also known as The Large Glass (1915–1923), has been realized in East Asia as The Large Glass – Tokyo Version (LGTV) (Collection of Komaba Museum, University of Tokyo). This achievement resulted from years of dedicated research on Marcel Duchamp in Japan. This exhibition will shed light on the story behind the creation of LGTV, drawing on a wealth of materials, and will consider the significance of this effort. It features aspects of how Tono Yoshiaki, then a professor at Tama Art University who had exchanges with Duchamp, supervised the project and paved the way through gathering information from his international network, and how students at the time contributed to both the study and the production processes.
