First, Banksey actually creates art. Second, This stunt generated 0 patrons. The person who does marketing for the museum generated publicity and patrons for bringing this to the medias attention. Without that, people would wonder why there was a blank canvas there.
If this stunt generated far more publicity and/or patrons than an actual painting, couldn’t the “artist” argue they fulfilled their end of the deal?
I wouldn’t be surprised if some rich idiot pays a large amount of money for it, like that Banksy painting that sold for 20x after self-destructing.
