“I would like this particular WHEEL to be recognized as a work of art. I would like it to be exhibited in a museum! There is hardly a justification for it and hardly any chance of it happening. We knew nothing then about Marcel Duchamp, about his READY MADE.
Year 1944!
30 years after…
The wheel in Ulysses’ room in 1944, a plain cart wheel covered in mud… it was of the utmost significance to me… it had no function as a prop…  I did not mean it to be a part of the poor room…
to be abandoned…
to BE!
It was an object with no justification….
