In this video i am looking for Duchamp's Fountain hoping to find it in Manhattan. The video refers to the image of the Fountain in my work MAMA BLUE AND THE FREEKI MUTHAFUCKAS.
Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" is a iconic work of art that is often credited as one of the first examples of a "readymade" art object. Duchamp submitted "Fountain" to the Society of Independent Artists' first exhibition in 1917, but it was controversial and rejected by the exhibition committee.
Duchamp himself did not physically create "Fountain." Instead, he obtained it from a store. According to Duchamp's own account, he purchased "Fountain" from a sanitary ware company called J. L. Mott Iron Works, located at 118 Fifth Avenue in New York City. He supposedly signed it with the pseudonym "R. Mutt" and submitted it as his artwork for the Society of Independent Artists' exhibition.
