About Fountain

A standard urinal signed R. Mutt and submitted to an art exhibition. Rejected by the exhibition committee despite the rule that all submissions be shown. Duchamp redefined what could be considered art. One of the most influential artworks of the 20th century. The original was lost, only replicas remain.
