Answer

Fountain, Marcel Duchamp's submission to the 1917 Society of Independent Artists, sparked controversy and challenged traditional notions of art. Duchamp presented a urinal titled "Fountain," signed with the pseudonym "R. Mutt." By submitting a manufactured object as art, Duchamp questioned the role of the artist, the definition of art, and the value placed on artistic creation. His provocative act pushed boundaries and influenced the development of conceptual art.
