Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "readymades" was coined by the artist Marcel Duchamp to describe ordinary, mass-produced objects that he found or purchased and presented as works of art. Other artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg and Richard Prince, have also incorporated readymades into their art. Weaving (B), casting (C), earthworks (D), and lost-wax (E) are all techniques or processes used in art making, but they do not specifically refer to the use of found or pre-existing objects in a work of art.
