Coffee Mill is a ready-made created by Marcel Duchamp in 1911, which transforms an ordinary coffee grinder into a work of art. With this work Duchamp challenges traditional artistic conventions, maintaining that art lies not only in craftsmanship or aesthetic beauty, but also in the idea the artist intends to communicate. The coffee grinder, an everyday and familiar object, becomes a symbol of Dadaism and its provocative critique of society and of the academic art world.
Duchamp introduces the revolutionary concept that any object can become art if selected and presented by the artist. The coffee mill is not merely a functional object, but an invitation to reflect on the role of creativity, perception and context in art.
