One might easily say that art is invisible because of its context.  To say 
it is the other way around is to give all the credit for art to the 
institutions and presentations.  Like if there were no publishers there 
couldn't be great writers.  I believe those with a modicum of empirical 
knowledge about music or art and a kernel of original thinking would have 
recognized the hoax.  Sadly, this is all too rare in our declining 1st 
world nation.
