ready-made (sh)




Everyday object selected and designated as Art.

The name was coined by Marcel Duchamp, whose first ready-mades included a snow shovel that he picked up on a snowy day in New York, and a wheel mounted on a stool (1913). They represented a protest against the excessive importance attached to works of Art. Duchamp's anti-aesthetic gestures made him one of the leading Dadaists of his day, and his ready-made concept, though widely regarded for decades as an insult to Art, was adapted by such later artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and Jasper Johns.
