That "someone" is in reality a poll of 500 art critics. You or I may not like Duchamp's "Fountain" but the fact remains that it is one of the most influential modern works of art ever created. With "Fountain" Duchamp challenged the idea of what could be thought of as art...his ideas shook up the entire art world. Fantastic? Perhaps not. Inspiring? Obviously to quite a few. I did laugh derisively, but at this misguided post, not at Duchamp's attempts to make people think outside the box. "Influential" doesn't have to mean "best".
