The bronze sculpture with phallic shaped-glasses hanging on spikes represent Monica Bonvicini’s ironic lecture of Marcel Duchamp’s "Bottle Rack“ from 1914. Bonvicini emphasises the Freudian and erotic interpretation of what has been considered Duchamp’s purest readymade – he bought a common, mass-produced bottle rack at a Bazar in Paris and exposed it without altering its form-, by adding anthropomorphic forms to the rack’s empty spikes. Disallowed to complete its primary function -dry wet bottles-, Duchamp's spikes could refer for some art critics to the artist’s Bachelor status and frustrated male genitalia.
