yes i think you're right =). And yes, I do believe he originally entered
it anonymously to prove the point that art is so subjective and that modern
opinions on art are more social artifacts than objective realities. And
yes, it fits because I read about this story in a book on dadaism, probably
in the section where they talked about Duchamp.
ummmm, i think we'd better drop this thread though because it strikes me as
somewhat non-idm. apologies to the rest of the list...
