Description:
“Whether Mr. Mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance. He CHOSE it. He took an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under its new title and point of view—and created a new thought for that object.” — Marcel Duchamp (anonymously)
