    That and the majority of people don’t know the title and if they did they would understand the humor imbedded within the work a little better.

    When I teach conceptual art in my class I always compare this to Duchamp’s Fountain. Everything that’s old becomes new again.

      As a work of conceptual art, it consists of a certificate of authenticity with detailed diagrams and instructions for its proper display.

      I love it.
