n to the nearest Bathroom Equipment supplier (look it up in Yellow Pages) and purchase the latest equivalent, rather than go to all that ridiculous expense of repairing it, as though they were fixing a tear in the canvas of the Mona Lisa? Come to think of it, why not just buy up the whole stock, haul it over to the gallery, and call the exhibition, “Homage to Duchamp”?
Perhaps Homebase should apply for an Arts Council grant.
Didn’t this happen to Man Ray’s Object To Be Destroyed (reborn as Indestructible Object)? Maybe it would have been funnier if the guy had have vandalised Duchamp’s vandalised Mona Lisa (the one with a moustache) instead.
Certainly his earlier effort, when he pissed into the urinal, was funnier – and more appropriate – than this latest escapade.
But yes, what if he’d managed to remove the moustache from Duchamp’s vandalised Mona Lisa? We’re heading into deep waters here….
