Jackie Whincup's Famous Artists Facts - Marcel Duchamp.

JAX FAX

Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968)  created art from everyday objects. He made about twenty of these pieces; but, by far the most famous example is a work called Fountain, which is nothing more than a urinal he purchased. When it came time to display his creation at an art show, the board in charge of the exhibit had a fierce debate and eventually chose to hide the display from view, presumably in the washroom! That’s one place where you will NEVER find Jackie’s work.
