Just stumbled onto a webquest about another artist who "appropriates". http://www.artjunction.org/projects/levine_on_trial/ Haven't had the chance to check it out yet - Just checking webquests on art. Jan
Fred Babb is the artist whose slogans "Art Can't Hurt You". Fred frequents flea markets and discount stores to purchase oddball items that he then changes (or as he says, "fixes") the items. Here is the link to his current "fixed" item up for bid.

Anyway ... whether you agree that the "fixed" items are art, these could make for interesting classroom discussions.
