The Blind Man’s Defense of Duchamp’s Fountain

According to Wikipedia, anyway:

The New York Dada magazine The Blind Man defended Fountain, claiming “whether Mr. Mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance. He CHOSE it.^[20] He took an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view—and created a new thought for that object.”^[19]
