  Customer perception of the value of art in general. You don’t get to call it all art, without muddying the perception.

    So, if there weren’t canned shits, people would be willing to pay for illustrators more often?

      There is a long history of artists "pushing the envelope… by self-deprecating and making “statements” about how ridiculous the market for art is.

      You don’t get to shove Dada, a Campbell’s soup can, canned “artist’s shit”, a black square on a canvas, a pile of trash, a shirt on a coat hanger, a self-shredding copy of a graffiti, and thousands of similar examples, all under the same label as the Louvre, illustrators, writers, etc… then magically have people value all artistic work.

      There has been continuous serious damage done to the concept of “art”, and now come the consequences.

        Why wouldn’t they pay $0 for the can of shit and $100 for something else? Like, a can of juice, maybe.
