"Readymade" refers to a type of art created from everyday objects that are not traditionally considered art materials. This concept was popularized by the artist Marcel Duchamp in the early 20th century. By selecting and presenting these ordinary items, Duchamp challenged the conventional definitions of art and encouraged viewers to reconsider the role of the artist and the nature of creativity. The term "readymade" specifically describes objects that are mass-produced and often found in stores, such as a bicycle wheel or a urinal. These items are transformed into art simply by being chosen and displayed in a gallery setting, prompting discussions about authorship, context, and the meaning of art itself.
