Not a big fan of modern art, but I've a soft spot for Gilbert and George, one of the first to create art that literally was shit, or at least incorporated it. :

These days their work has been swamped by a tidal wave (including sharks, and other creatures in formaldehyde...) but they were among the pioneers.
