In terms of gaining success. Artists are chosen by galleries, media reporters based on their story, ie their brand, and how the could be represented to clients, readers. Is there anything interesting to be said or are they just another mfa graduate?
That's why you see the crazy antics of ie a urinal as an artwork, taping a banana to the wall, and the insane art writing that come with an artwork.
A piece of art is not bought for its craftsmanship or what it looks like. It is bought because of the story of the artist, the fact that other people know the artists story, so hanging it on your wall means something. It is part of culture. A Picasso is worth a lot because of its part of art history.
