Duchamp's Fountain attacked with hammer


LINK quote [On Wednesday, Pierre Pinoncelli attacked a replica of Marcel Duchamp's famous sculpture Fountain on display at the Dada exhibition at the Pompidou Center in Paris. Apparently, the artwork was only slightly chipped and Pinocelli was arrested. Mr. Pinoncelli, 77, who urinated into the same urinal and struck it with a hammer in a show in Nîmes in 1993, has a long record of organizing bizarre happenings. Police officials said he again called his action a work of art, a tribute to Duchamp and other Dada artists].
