Artworks by Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp's artworks challenge traditional notions of art by emphasizing ideas over craftsmanship. Notably, his "readymades" are ordinary objects—like a urinal or a bicycle wheel—presented as art to provoke thought about originality, context, and the artist's intention. Duchamp’s work questions what defines art, blurring the line between everyday object and artistic creation. His innovations played a key role in the development of conceptual art, encouraging viewers to consider meaning, perception, and the role of the artist in the creative process.
