Trio Muharam Indonesian, b. 1990
We are aware that art is not confined to paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, or Pablo Picasso. Art is not limited to the architectural marvels of Antoni Gaudi or the musical compositions of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At least, that's how Marcel Duchamp sees it. One of Duchamp's most famous works is not a painting or sculpture, but a urinal for men. He named this work ""Fountain,"" and it was displayed at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the largest modern art museum in Europe. What makes this urinal so special? Duchamp created the Fountain in 1917 and submitted it to the Society of Independent Artists' exhibition at the Grand Central Palace in New York. Duchamp presented the object lying down and signed it ""R. Mutt"" to obscure his identity."
