I saw this stunning and fabulous piece of “art” in a show at the Chicago Art Institute in 1974. It was near the spellbinding piece in which he painted a mustache on a postcard of the Mona Lisa.

It could have been this event in my life that led me to become a certified public accountant instead of an artist.

It was anti-art. What Duchamp himself called a “readymade’. It was only “art” when put in the gallery showroom.

Take it out of there, and it’s just an unused urinal.

Conceptual art vs. craft.

I wouldn’t pay a nickel over $2.1 million for it. Call me cheap, but a man’s got to know his limitations.

$2million toilet BUMP.

I wonder how many our government unknowingly bought for that price.
