ART105 Introduction to Visual Art
Module 9 Discussion
Readymades
and Appropriation Art
Carefully
read the sections in Chapter 11 on Marcel Duchamp and readymades and on Sherrie
Levine and appropriation art. Duchamp’s
readymades were revolutionary because they shifted the definition of art from a
skillfully hand-made object to art as idea or concept. Duchamp’s concept of the
readymade has had a profound impact on contemporary art—a 2004 survey of over
500 artists, museum curators, art dealers, and critics voted Fountain the most
influential work of modern art ever created. Those that voted most overwhelmingly
for Fountain were the artists themselves.
In 1991,
artist Sherrie Levine made Fountains after Duchamp. In a sense, Levine has
appropriated an appropriation, since Duchamp himself had appropriated the Mott
Plumbing Company, who mass-manufactured the urinal in Fountain to begin with.
Your textbook says that Levine’s work is meant to question artistic ideas like
authorship and originality. How does Fountains After Duchamp do this? What
other notions does Levine’s piece bring up or challenge? (You may use the internet to research
Levine’s ideas, but be sure to cite your sources.)
Your
initial response is due Wednesday, at midnight.
Be sure to reply to two other students by Sunday, at midnight.
