No greater blasphemy! Interesting that. I didn't know about the curious cross image inside. I'll have a look again soon. Thanks again.All the best.<br />GearóidGearóid Ó Colmáinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332663581617691258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29182620.post-10504412448190883522009-05-02T18:51:00.000-07:002009-05-02T18:51:00.000-07:00The photo at the top may be an unauthorised copy o...The photo at the top may be an unauthorised copy of Marcel Duchamp's 'objet trouve' work of art shown at an art show in 1917. He signed it cryptically as R Mutt. The 'original' was lost but the artist graciously supplied a replacement later. Today at the Pompidou Centre you can gaze in aesthetic awe at it on one of the upper floors. But don't pee on it - that might be artistic blasphemy.<br />more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
