My favourite example of this bullshit is Duchamp's "The Fountain". In 1917 the "artist" Marcel Duchamp purchased an urinal in a New York store and submitted it as a work of art to an exhibition. And he got away with it, big time. The urinal became considered by specialists one of the most influential works of art of the 20th century and went to be on permanent exhibition at the Georges Pompidou centre, in Paris. In 2008 another "artist", Pierre Pinoncelli, went to that centre with an hammer and damaged Duchamp's "art". He claimed that his vandalism was also a work of art because Duchamp's urinal had lost it's subversive value. For some, Pinoncelli also got away with it. It would be fun if the center would put his hammer in exhibition, close to the urinal.
