More than 90 years after Marcel Duchamp famously presented a urinal as a work of art, the trend continues – and continues to draw controversy.

This time, the fuss is about a urinal sculpted in the likeness of former President George W. Bush.

Bush Urinal

Sculptor Clark Sorensen produces handmade, homemade pieces in his studio/garage in the Mission District section of San Francisco.

“It started kind of as a joke,” said Sorensen. “I was working in porcelain, and I thought, ‘what can I do with a urinal?’”

He has produced urinals in the shape of orchids, lilies and morning glories. But the design that has people talking is “George W. Flush,” a likeness of former President Bush with an oversized head and a wide open mouth.

The one-of-a-kind urinal is not installed in any men’s room. It is on display at a gallery art show in San Francisco.
