Duchamp's
Fountain was recently voted
the most influential modern art work of all time by 500 art experts, leading Picasso's
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon,
the Marilyn Diptych,
Guernica, and Matisse's
The Red Studio (among others).
Don't get it? You can find out
why these pieces are art at the San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art's incredibly thorough
Making Sense of Modern Art webpage. Here's the entry for
Fountain.
