Piero Manzoni
Piero Manzoni (Italy, 1933–1963) was an avant-garde artist renowned for his provocative conceptual works that challenged traditional art forms. His most infamous piece, 'Artist's Shit' (1961), consisted of 90 sealed cans purportedly containing his own excrement, questioning the value and commercialization of art. Manzoni's innovative approach significantly influenced the development of conceptual art.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
