pierre pinoncelli- a performance artist made mostly famous for breaking and urinating on 2 of the 8 orginal copies of marcel duchamps "Fountain" sculpture (urinal, dada). the provocative performance was said to be a statement that the piece had lost its original value as provocative art. he showed a strange sense of commitment to this idea by preforming the acts over the course of 13 years. he was also noted to have thrown red ink on a french minister of culture, cut off part of his finger for an art exhibition, and rob a bank for 10 francs with a sawed off shotgun.
