Readymades

My jolly neighbor on Hazel Street was throwing out a little round garden table with legs that looked like my drawings - I had to rescue it! Its a small table. The laminated top had layers warped and and rotting off. I let it sit in the snow all winter rotting more completely. Yesterday I peeled off the remains of the round plywood top, and flipped it over so the curlicue legs are on top and the brackets are feet. I love the resulting metal sculpture! My first readymade!

Readymades are everyday manufactured goods that are deemed to be art merely by virtue of the artist's selection of them as such.
