Revisiting issues of beauty, value and judgment on the centenary of Marcel Duchamp's fountain

Some Aesthetic Decisions is an exhibition featuring works by artists that explore issues of beauty, value, and judgment. One hundred years ago, Dada artist Marcel Duchamp forever changed the nature of art by anonymously submitting Fountain in 1917, a porcelain urinal signed R. Mutt as an artwork to the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in New York. The show organizers' rejection of Fountain ignited a controversy that persists today about the definition of art and who gets to pass judgment.
