"Oh, definitely! One that comes to mind is 'Piss Christ' by Andres Serrano. It stirred up a ton of outrage when it was first displayed. People were really divided over it, especially since it features a crucifix in a jar of urine. Talk about a conversation starter!"

"For sure! The 'Fountain' by Marcel Duchamp is a classic example. He just took a urinal, signed it, and called it art. It shook up the art world back in the day and still gets people talking about what art really is."

"Yeah, have you heard about the 'Girl with a Balloon' by Banksy? When it was auctioned off and then shredded right after the sale, it caused a huge uproar. Some loved it, while others were like, 'What just happened?!' It definitely made waves!"

"Absolutely! Damien Hirst's 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living' featuring a shark in formaldehyde got a lot of people riled up. Some thought it was genius, while others just saw it as a gimmick. Art can be so polarizing!"
