A Drawing of Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel Heavyweight Long Sleeve

THE CONCEPT

“To see that wheel turning, was very soothing, very comforting, a sort of opening of avenues on other things than material life of every day. I liked the idea of having a bicycle wheel in my studio. I enjoyed looking at it, just as I enjoyed looking at the flames dancing in a fireplace. It was like having a fireplace in my studio.”- Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp challenged our perceptions of art by presenting a common object in an unconventional context, forcing us to reconsider its meaning and significance. The mundane, mass-produced, everyday nature of these objects is precisely why Duchamp chose them.

More than a mere object, Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel is a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of art and the boundaries of creativity. It reminds us that art is not confined to museums or galleries but can be found in the everyday objects that surround us, waiting to be reimagined and rediscovered.

Although Bicycle Wheel predates Duchamp’s use of the term "readymade"—a phrase he coined after relocating from Paris to New York in 1915—it remains the earliest example of this pioneering class of artworks.
