Based on the famous 1917 sculpture of a urinal by Duchamp, "Fountain" by Millie Brown was recently signed by Poptress Gaga. Duchamp's original "Fountain" (which has now been lost and subsequently replicated for multiple museums) featured the signature R.Mutt.
Performance artists around the world have defaced replications of the piece, Gagi adding her name to the list including Bjorn, Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi, and Pierre Pinoncelli (who attacked the replication with a hammer).
Not much can be found on the Millie Brown repro, or Gaga's signing of it, but GagaFace dutifully reports on the occurrence with pics from Nicola Formichetti's blog.
My reading, based on this low-res image: "I'm not ...(feeling?) Duchamp, but I love p...ing (pissing?) with you."
Edit: more info.
