her main contribution is as a performance artist.
she has done conceptual performance art all of her life.
this piece is entrely consistent with the rest of her oeuvre.
if there's an issue with her it's the same blind spot that most contemporary visual artists have. their tradition is hermetic and irrelevant to the rest of the world.
her attempts to cross over into the world of mass media have been unsuccessful as evidenced by the comments above.
they still teach all this stuff in art school.
performance art can be a viable medium.
but you need to be a part of your audience - not stand above it.
letting them cut off your clothes is about disrobing the empress.
her problem, as is the problem with most public figures we encounter, is cancer of the ego.
