Of course, the next person to create their own version of Marcel Duchamp&#39s hundred year old Fountain (1917) for a publicity stunt is Lady Gaga. The infamous pop star, or self-titled &quotFame Monster,&quot she used Armitage Shanks, the title of her urinal sculpture, as an accessory at a photo shoot for Vogue Homme Japan with the iconic photographer Nick Knight. She signed in black scribble, “I’m not fucking Duchamp but I love pissing with you.”

Lady Gaga has since donated the piece to ShoWstudio.com, where it is currently being sold for $480,000.
