Hong Kong presents contemporary German art in public space

Why not urinals? The artist is believed to be Andreas Schmitten (I am not quite sure, unfortunately the sign on the photo below next to the artwork is difficult to read.)

Presumably, the artwork is titled "Verzückung" (ecstasy, rupture)

Here is a German language article about this German artist and another artist.



Maybe the most famous artwork showing an urinal is this one by Marcel Duchamp titled "Fountain" dating from 1917 (as part of the Dada movement)
