Eye on Art: Alreadymade with Barbara Visser
Was it marketing, mystification or misogyny that made the 'readymade' work of art Fountain so famous? What started out as a lost object by an anonymous maker, became the most influential artwork of the 20th century. Barbara Visser will be present to talk with the audience about her findings.
Speculation about a female creator of the artwork Fountain (1917) come and go. But who is she? What is real, and what is true in this case? Doubts about the origin of this 'readymade' work of art fluctuate with the value of the countless copies held in the depots of modern art museums. Can the discovery of a single piece of correspondence change everything, attributing it to a woman way ahead of her time?
