Perhaps responding to decade-old criticism from a New York Times art critic that his work was too derivative, German neo-expressionist artist Anton Henning created his new Composition with Meatballs, Gherkins, Beetroot, Potatoes, Watermelon, Lemon Juice, Riesling, and Large Brownie, which features brown, egg-like shapes within an off-white border. On display at Frankfurt's Museum of Modern Art, the work was "painted" entirely with the artist's own excrement, then coated in resin to eliminate odor problems. The title refers to the meal he ate before beginning the work. It's been done.
