| Edition | 1964 reproduction authorized by Duchamp; wood model in an edition of 8 (Schwarz) |
| Notable features | Variable hook counts and curvatures across depictions; 1964 model presents six equal‑length hooks symmetrically arranged; blueprint geometry departs from earlier photos and shadows[S1] |
| Context | Part of Duchamp’s readymade corpus; 1964 editions coordinated by Arturo Schwarz; related to broader debates on authorship, replication, and “rehabilitated” perspective[G2][G4] |
This “readymade” can be scored by a scalar value that conveys the degree to which some observations conform to (i.e., are predictable from) the model.
