In 1914 Mercel Duchamp bought a cheap reproduction of winter landscape by an unknown artist. Then he added two drops of colour (green and red) creating a readymade . This became Duchamp’s artistic property under the title “Pharmacie. Marcel Duchamp/ 1914″. “Pharmacie” is now being re-created again and supplemented with a ray of artificial sunlight. The title “Pharmacie M.D. 2038” refers to Marcel Duchamp’s copyright expiring in year 2038.
