The Bottle Rack (also called Bottle Dryer or Hedgehog) 
(Egouttoir or Porte-bouteilles or Hérisson) 
is an artwork created in 1914 by Dada artist Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp labeled the piece a "readymade", 

                                           1914

Made by Duchamp while on a homeward bound train to Rouen in the half-darkness of dusk, this Readymade is essentially a cheap reproduction of a winter landscape with two drops of color added to it. Inscribed in the lower right corner with the words, "Pharmacie. Marcel Duchamp/ 1914," Pharmacy illustrates the imposition of authorship upon a piece by merely signing it.

Duchamp made three original copies of this commercial print in 1914. The artist once explained that these prints, sold in an art supply store, are signed by an unknown artist "of the worst kind" (Oliva 62).

objet trouvé ("found object") is a cheap postcard reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drew a moustache and beard in pencil and appended the title

Constructed by a carpenter in accordance with Duchamp's instructions,
 Fresh Widow 
is a reduced scale version of the traditional floor-length French window. Duchamp covered the glass panes with panels of black leather, obstructing the metaphorical view through the window that is associated with illusionistic painting. With the change of three letters, Duchamp transforms "French window" into the title "Fresh Widow," a pun that points to the recent war and the bawdy tradition of amorous (or "fresh") widows of soldiers.
