Player's comments:
"Fountain" is a readymade sculpture by Marcel Duchamp in 1917, consisting of a porcelain urinal signed "R. Mutt". In April 1917, an ordinary piece of plumbing chosen by Duchamp was submitted for an exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, the inaugural exhibition by the Society to be staged at The Grand Central Palace in New York. Marcel Duchamp when explaining the purpose of his Readymade sculpture stated that they are, 'everyday objects raised to the dignity of a work of art by the artist's act of choice.' In Duchamp's presentation, the urinal's orientation was altered from its usual positioning. "Fountain" was not rejected by the committee, since Society rules stated that all works would be accepted from artists who paid the fee, but the work was never placed in the show area. Following that removal, Fountain was photographed at Alfred Stieglitz's studio, and the photo published in The Blind Man. The original has been lost.
