I understand what you mean. But one thing I'd like to mention is, if you think about it, there are already several concept pieces worth several billions of dollars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films, and others, in terms of hundreds of millions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_arti..., etc.
I'd also like for readers unfamiliar with 4'33 to read up about it, and what was said about it at the time.

How many were worth that much money in their day, or would have become worth what they are without the cachet of the artist? While it pains me to say it, there is case to be made for Yo as a work of art, if art can be accidental (I guess all real memes are accidental art in a way, and Yo's popularity seems memetic to me.) And perhaps the ephemeral nature of the medium works against it, but I seriously doubt anyone is going to care about Yo fifty years from now.
