Philosophy of the Void: Philosophy of the Void: "I think art is entirely subjective. That is to say, the difference between a masterpiece and a piece of junk is entirely due to historical coincidence rather than inherent value. Value is determined by contemporary consensus. Artists who stand at the pinnacle of this consensus can arbitrarily move standards of quality by claiming innovation. Consumers and lesser artists face a choice between accepting the consensus or having bad taste. In this sense, a great artist is either a conformer or unbelievably lucky for having had the right talents at the right moment. "
