Clyfford Still posterior incident and etc.
Clyfford Still, 1957-J-No. 2
“Oddly enough, fame, urine, and profit-enhancement in contemporary art was addressed back in 1995 when Brian Eno pissed in Duchamp’s urinal. Paddy Johnson joked that Eno’s piss may have actually increased the urinal’s intended value:
Claiming to be upset with the way the object was handled (it had been insured for 30,000, an act which would have been contrary to Duchamp’s intentions that the work be some random piece of hardware), Eno called his act a “re-commode-ification.” Well, congratulations to Brian Eno for reclaiming the toilet, a landmark in the annals of art history to be sure. Here’s hoping the irony that his piss is valuable does not escape him. You know MOMA has that stuff saved and insured in some archive somewhere.”
