Art has meaning, and some intended meanings expressed through art are nullified when the art piece is turned into a commodity.

Artists rebelling against commodification of their art pieces in the past saw their own anti-commodification art works turned into commodities, thus nullifying their message.

The message that comes through becomes the ideas that you have expressed.

Modern artists like Banksy or Damien Hirst, or anyone who has read Naomi Klein's "No Logo", are knowledgeable of this.
