To add to the irony, I would say that perhaps on .00000000001% of
practicing visual artists "buy the line" of the contemporary art scene,
whatever that line is. Oh yes, they will play whatever game is required
of them to get their work shown and sold. But for the most part they all
think the rest of us are really dumb. Dumb for wanting them to play our
game (currently, an inverted internally-incoherent, so-called late
postmodernism) and dumb for being so easy to convince that they are into
what we want to see them as being into.
So it turns out that the party line is probably bought only by those who
make a living publishing it, and probably not even by most of them.
