Sherrie Levine - Fountain (After Duchamp)
Levine is a contemporary artist mostly famous for her work of re-proposing masterpieces of male artist of the last century. Her aim is to show how last century was lacking of visible female artists, with free access to credibility and legitimacy.
In this “Fountain” , Levine replicates the fountain by Duchamp. But opposing to that “ready-made” art (a real orinatory showcased upside down and signed by the artist) this is adding a different touch, the artist this time is shaping metal and bronze in the shape of the famous precedent.
