Mutt.\" The Society's board members agreed to accept it into the exhibition, but they decided at the last minute to omit the piece, entitled \u003ci\u003eFountain\u003c\/i\u003e, from the final display. It was later revealed that the artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) had submitted the piece to the Society, of which he himself was a member. Today, the \u003ci\u003eFountain\u003c\/i\u003e remains a symbol of antiestablishment creativity, questioning what does and does not constitute art and who has the authority to make that distinction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication brings together an impressive amount of research as it considers the context of Duchamp's piece and its continued legacy, while rejecting the recently mooted thesis that Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven had created the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verlag Fur Moderne Kunst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783903320246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.70h x 4.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Marcel Duchamp, Stefan Banz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36675405316252,"sku":"9783903320246","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_40399388-518e-4f8b-b98d-7f3433fcddd6.jpg?v=1603934098","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/marcel-duchamp-richard-mutts-fountain-9783903320246","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
