Abstract
Through his subversive thinking of Plato's cave metaphor, Martin Heidegger has restored to truth (aletheia) its original significance. Then he bases the origin of art on its relation with truth. The so-called producing (herstellen) of the Earth and instituting (aufstellen) of the World is exactly the placing (Stellen) and placing-together (Ge-stell) of truth. A Heideggerian interpretation of Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" will attest excellently to the validity of readymade art as the placing/stellen of truth.
