If they wanted to hire a financial analyst (or whatever) to make a visualization of the "average $country annual wage," they could have hired one. It would have occupied a spot in their gallery; nobody outside the walls of the museum would ever know or care. Instead, they hired an artiste/provocateur. He did the work that he is best at: he got the museum all over the international news, bringing significantly more value to the institution than if he had satisfied their small-minded request that he remake a previous work with insignificant changes. Talk about bringing value to the organization; this guy is more effective than most CEOs I've known.
