Pop diva Lady Gaga, known for her ability to bridge high concepts with bawdy delivery, has paid a characteristically flashy tribute to the work of Marcel Duchamp by having a hand-inscribed urinal delivered to London fashion boutique SHOWstudio.com.

The piece — named Armitage Skanks after its industrial manufacturer — bears a scatological message from Gaga outlining her relationship to Duchamp and the role of humor in her own career. Although some have reported that the piece is definitely not for sale, SHOWstudio.com simply lists it as "enquire."
