Objects that are chosen by an artist and presented as art are called "readymades." This term was coined by artist Marcel Duchamp in the early 20th century to describe mass-produced objects that he selected and presented as art. Examples of readymades include a urinal that was signed "R. Mutt" and presented as art in 1917, and a bicycle wheel that was mounted on a stool and presented as art in 1913.
