SynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The term found art—more commonly found object (French: objet trouvé) or readymade—describes art created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Marcel Duchamp was the originator of this in the early 20th century. Found art derives its identity as art from the designation placed upon it by the artist. The context into which it is placed (e.g. a gallery or museum) is usually also a highly relevant factor. The idea of dignifying commonplace objects in this way was originally a shocking challenge to the accepted distinction between what was considered art as opposed to not art. Although it may now be accepted in the art world as a viable practice, it continues to arouse questioning, as with the Tate Gallery's Turner Prize exhibition of Tracey Emin's My Bed, which consisted literally of her unmade and dishevelled bed. In this sense the artist gives the audience time and a stage to contemplate an object. Appreciation of found art in this way can prompt philosophical reflection in the observer. Found art, however, has to have the artist's input, at the very least an idea about it, i.e. the artist's designation of the object as art, which is nearly always reinforced with a title. There is mostly also some degree of modification of the object, although not to the extent that it cannot be recognised. The modification may lead to it being designated a "modified", "interpreted" or "adapted" found object. From Wikipedia under the

I'm writing a short story in which a man thinks he has found a painting by Khalo in some old lady's attic. He steals it and I want him to try and sell it only to find out its fake. How can I do so in a realistic fashion? Where would one go if one had found such a painting? Asked by graveyard_picnic - Mon Nov 19 23:32:18 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Read the N. Y. Times version of how Elizabeth Gibson found a Rufino Tamayo painting in the trash. The path she took to discovering the treasure she had (also a Latin artist) has some interesting parallels to your question. I pasted the link but after viewing it more than once it asks you to log on. Try it.. if it asks for log in .. then go to Wikipedia's version and scroll down to the last external link on the page: "One Person s Trash Is Another Person s Lost Masterpiece" I checked and no other site has all the details. I hope this helps! Answered by guess who at large - Tue Nov 20 00:57:26 2007 is it lame that im using an abstract photo i found on deviant art for my myspace pic?

Take digital photos of each peice of work and burn the collection of photos to a disk as your virtual portfolio. 2. Make a list of art gallerys that show work that is simalar to your own. 3.
