Yeah, jeff koons.  the man has the integrity to make hellacious amounts
of money in art-world arbitrage; by commissioning low-culture kitsch 
objects from skilled, yet anonymous craftsmen working with fine materials
and reselling them in galleries at x000% markup, he's been able to
prove what we already knew, which is that connoisseurs will buy 
anything if it has the right cachet.
