When the Shit Hits the Fan
10 GREAT MOMENTS IN CREATIVE DEFECATION
1929: While fellow surrealists Max Ernst and René Magritte are painting allusive images of the psyche, the Spanish artist Salvador Dali depicts people taking a shit. Daliâs ardor for ordure began when he was very young; he liked to introduce an element of surprise into his motherâs daily chores by hiding his turds in unexpected places around the house.
1961: Italian artist Piero Manzoni, the Godfather of poop-based art, exhibits a series of ninety one-ounce cans containing his own excrement, titled Artistâs Shit, allegedly in response to a remark by his father, who told him, âPiero, your work is shit.â In June 2002, the Tate Gallery in London announced it had purchased tin No. 4 of Manzoni Jr.âs feces for about $38,000. In October 2008 tin No. 83 was offered for sale at Sothebyâs, with a not-to-be-sniffed-at estimate of $80,000â$110,000.
