Lady Gaga, Nick Knight Partner in Duchamp Tribute


The legendary Marcel Duchamp readymade, Fountain, has gotten a brand new (poker) face. Pop diva Lady Gaga has teamed up with photographer Nick Knight to create a tribute to the infamous urinal.


Armitage Shanks is pretty much the same as the original, except branded with Lady Gaga’s Midas touch. Instead of the “R. Mutt” inscription on Duchamp’s piece, this one has “I’m not f*cking Duchamp but I love pissing with you” written by the iconic singer.

The artwork falls under Knight’s own SHOWStudio catalog, but as New York Magazine reports, it isn’t for sale.
