Who is behind Fountain, chosen in 2004 by a panel of five hundred so-called art connoisseurs as the most influential work of art of the 20th century? That question is a battleground. Is it by a celebrated male artist or by a forgotten female artist? Art experts tumble over each other to prove themselves right. The interests are great and the arguments numerous. But what is their truth worth, if the artist himself wanted to remain anonymous? Speculation about the work of art creates value, which goes beyond the art market on which the many copies of the work circulate.
