Was Marcel Duchamp's 'Fountain' actually created by a long-forgotten pioneering feminist?
The original article that I've come across that discussed the possibility of Duchamp's famous Fountain being originally not his idea and therefore questioned his position as the father of conceptual art was this: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/was-marcel-duchamps-fountain-actually-created-by-a-long-forgotten-pioneering-feminist-10491953.html.
Then, I've found an article that gave the same sort of information in The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/mar/29/marcel-duchamp-fountain-women-art-history), however, I then realised that another article, that would to some extent confront the first two, was published in response (https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/apr/03/duchamps-fountain-and-the-feminist-avant-garde-in-new-york).
So, here I just wanted to share the most informative articles that I have found and let you make a judgement for yourselves.
