On October 2, 1968, Marcel Duchamp, an artist, chess player, one of the leading representatives of Dadaism and surrealism, died. He is known to the general public primarily for his work “The Fountain”, which is an urinal signed by the name R. Mutt, which means “R. Fool". The appearance of this work was accompanied by scandal and provoked a wide variety of disputes: starting from whether the Fontana had co-authors, ending with the question of whether this object can be considered an object of art at all. Nevertheless, this work caused a real revolution and gave rise to a new artistic direction - conceptualism. History knows many examples when artists began their own scandal in art. Take our test and make sure that you know about it.
