This transformation allowed for new forms of art to emerge. There is a whole line of post-modern artists who were influenced by Marcel Duchamp. Artists like Ai Wei Wei, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and especially Andy Warhol (Relf, 2016), all had very similar outlooks on art to Duchamp. You get a sense of Duchamp’s influence on the artists just by looking at their works. For example, Andy Warhol’s representation of a bowl of Campbell’s Soup, which is often compared to the urinal in the sense that it is a mundane object. “You cannot look at a can of Campbell’s Soup in any grocery store and not think of Warhol…Any man standing in front of a urinal will think of Duchamp” (Carnegie Museums, 2016). Their works have been displayed in art exhibitions together, for example Twisted Pair at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh (Carnegie Museums, 2016). Another big factor of his influence on Warhol was the idea to mass produce art (Groys, 2010). The picture of Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol for example, which is a 25 square collage of the exact same picture, gives the impression that he is producing art through a factory because he is producing identical images. Ironically, his art studio in New York was called “The Factory” (Gilmore,
