On the Havi portrait of Trump:
Trump is actually doing his foundation a favor, by 'storing' its portrait on his golf resort wall, his adviser says
If contemporary art is about the idea of dissolving the boundary between utilitarian and fine art, then the art can be considered successful. If an artist is cunning enough, re-appropriation should always be possible. The question remains that if conceptual art involves readymades or common objects, then the artist has to expect future knockoffs, send-ups and parodies, inadvertent plagiarization, and in some cases reprimand and punishment. (A good motto: always consider the effect the future will have on your work.)
