Bicycle Wheel
ArtistMarcel Duchamp
Year1916-17
LocationOriginal studio photograph. Shown to the left is the 2nd version of Bicycle Wheel, 1916-17. The original 1913 version and this 2nd version are lost. There are no known representations of the original 1913 Bicycle Wheel and Stool.[1]

In 1913 at his Paris studio Duchamp mounted the bicycle wheel upside down onto a stool, spinning it occasionally just to watch it. Later he denied that its creation was purposeful, though it has come to be known as the first of his readymades. "I enjoyed looking at it", he said, "just as I enjoy looking at the flames dancing in the fireplace". It was not until he began making readymades a few years later in New York that he decided Bicycle Wheel was also a readymade, and created the second version.[2]

The original version of 1913 and the second version of 1916-17 were both lost. Duchamp recreated yet another version of the sculpture in 1951. Bicycle Wheel is said to be the first kinetic sculpture.[3]

[it] Ruota di bicicletta

Ruota di bicicletta (titolo originale Roue de bicyclette, noto anche in inglese come Bicycle Wheel) è un'opera realizzata dallo scultore dadaista Marcel Duchamp nel 1913 a New York. Considerata il suo primo ready-made, l'opera è composta da una ruota di bicicletta, fissata su uno sgabello in legno per mezzo di una forcella. L'opera originale è andata perduta, mentre la replica del 1951, realizzata sempre da Duchamp, è esposta a New York nel Museum of Modern Art.

[ru] Велосипедное колесо (Дюшан)

«Велосипедное колесо» (фр. Roue de bicyclette, англ. Bicycle Wheel) — реди-мейд французского и американского художника и теоретика искусства Марселя Дюшана, созданный им в 1913 году, ещё до появления этого термина, введённого им же в 1915 году. Скульптура представляет собой переднее колесо, установленное верхней частью велосипедной вилки в сиденье деревянной табуретки. Оригинальная версия 1913 года и её авторское повторение, которое относят к 1916—1917 годам, были утеряны. В 1950—1960 годах по заказу художника было создано ещё несколько копий.
