More on the Questionable Authorship of a Certain Urinal












In his short book on contemporary/conceptual art, Con Art - Why you should sell your Damien Hirsts while you can, British art critic Julian Spalding cited two sources that had "proved beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt" that the urinal was not Duchamp's. I was able to find and write about one of his sources, Irene Gammel's Baroness Elsa: Gender, Dada, and Everyday Modernity--A Cultural Biography. I was not able to track down the work by Spalding's other source, Dr. Glyn Thompson.

The day after I published the post, I received an email from Dr. Thompson, directing me to the "missing" evidence and giving me permission to publish and link to a shortened version of it. Click here for more.
