Bride Stripped Bare Books




Bride Stripped Bare Books, is Large Glass gallery's own bookshop, also inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s signature work, the full title of which is The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Batchelors, Even. The work is made of glass, dust, paper, foil, lead, wire... everything which Duchamp has done is summed up in The Large Glass, (also called a “delay in time”) which was “finally unfinished” in 1923. It's Duchamp's endeavour that's the inspiration. With it comes a sense for possibilities, experiment, oppositions, flows, interruptions, curiosity and playfulness.

Our aim with the bookshop is to offer second hand and new books to anyone interested in Duchamp’s work and the wider world it inspires, alongside books we've found interesting and stimulating in making and running the gallery. We will stock books by and about the artists and photographers associated with the gallery. 

We will also offer rare editions, out of print publications and signed copies of books you will find difficult to find anywhere else.
