Actually he sold only one – to me – and I was disappointed!
Never one to be disheartened, he is now marketing Marcel Duchamp ReadyMade Kits – which consist of a sheet of sticky labels printed 'R. Mutt' which you can stick onto… well, anything you like, and thus have an iconic and valuable work of art in your own home.
I confess I can't quite get my head around how sticking a label on something mysteriously transforms it into 'Art', yet Byron – who understands these things – endorses this bizarre scheme.
For some unfathomable reason, both boys suggest a good place to start would be to stick one of these labels on the outside of your toilet bowl…
I've seen these labels and I must warn you that they're not even self-adhesive – you have to spray your own glue on the back of the sheet.
Wilson justifies this by saying, 'Making Art is supposed to be difficult – if it were easy, everyone would do it!' and recommends 3M PhotoMount for 'extra stickability'…
