caption_attribution_description: English: Replica of the 1914 Marcel Duchamp sculpture Bottle Rack, on display at the Art Institute of Chicago
context_page_description: The Bottle Rack is a proto-Dada artwork created in 1914 by Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp labeled the piece a "readymade", a term he used to describe his collection of ordinary, manufactured objects not commonly associated with art. The readymades did not have the serious tone of European Dada works, which criticized the violence of World War I, and instead focused on a more nonsensical nature, chosen purely on the basis of a "visual indifference".
  The Art Institute of Chicago purchased one of the replicas of Bottle Rack in 2018.
