Like Duchamp’s “Boîteen-\nvalise,” it is a survey of Cattelan’s work. The artist designed the loose pages to fit in a carboard box;\nthe hand-illustrated text and images emphasize the character of an artist’s book. Bice Curiger, chief\neditor of “Parkett” and curator at Kunsthaus Zurich, has contributed a well-informed essay.
