1967/1979
A simple rubber sink stopper is elevated to the status of art object in this characteristically subversive work by Marcel Duchamp, the pioneering conceptual artist whose readymades challenged conventional definitions of art. Produced in 1967 and later editioned in 1979, the piece exemplifies Duchamp's enduring fascination with the mundane object transformed through artistic intention and context. Cast in a medallic form, this humble household item invites viewers to question the boundaries between utility and aesthetic value.
