just came across this site. http://www.understandingduchamp.com/ really nicely done in a lot of detail and dedication exploring duchamps personal history. very good stuff there. a lot of pieces i didnt know. also mentions DALI's Rainy Taxi (a rain filled cab occupied by mannequins and thousands of living snails). turns out that piece was a huge influence on damien hirst.
so i went to look for some more info on this piece, it reminded me of the boxes we talked about, and found this:
