What is a readymade in the context of Dadaism?
A readymade is a term coined by Marcel Duchamp to describe a common object that is designated as art purely by the artist's decision. This concept was revolutionary in challenging the perception of what constitutes art, emphasizing idea over craft. Duchamp's Fountain (1917), an everyday urinal positioned as a sculpture, is one of the most famous examples of a readymade.
