your opinion?

WORDS FROM THE PREVIOUS EXERCISE.

expensive work sold by a living artist. See it here
• An artist Marcel Duchamp changed art history forever. He turned a urinal upside
down, hung it on the wall and claimed it was art. See the piece here
• Two teenagers pranked visitors at a museum in San Francisco. They left a pair of
eyeglasses on the floor so that people might think it was a work of art. Visitors
started gathering around the glasses, analyzing them and thinking that they were an
element of the exhibition. See what it looked like here
• The 82-year-old Cecilia Giménez had the best of intentions when she worked on
the restoration of a religious painting of Jesus (from 1930), but her skills didn’t quite
allow her to pull it off. Judge it for yourself! See the restoration effect here
