Fountain

It has been exactly 100 years since Marcel Duchamp exhibited his famous work Fountain, which basically was a mere urinal. Its replicas have been implicated in a number of affairs when people visiting exhibitions in museums around the globe were trying to give the work its original purpose by force. At the 100th anniversary the question poses itself: What if somebody returned it to the toilet, is it then still a work of art?
