Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy?
1921/64. Readymade: 152 marble cubes in the form of sugar cubes with thermometer and cuttlefishbone in a birdcage. 12.4 x 22.2 x 16.2 cm. Private collection.
"Why Not Sneeze?, with its suggestions of weight (heavy marble), promised sweetness (fake sugar cubes), missing warmth (thermometer), poetry (birdsong), arrested flight (cuttlebone and birdcage) and art (Cubism, and also the use of marble) seems to have a message."
