In a contemporary art museum, it's now fair to expect that chunks of a collection were never touched by the artist at all.

Which is to say that art museums now display things which may be of some interest to those intent on reading into what is simply there some ulterior meaning, but which, failing to have been intelligently constructed, have no internal logic, convey no meaning, and have no constraint. They are therefore not art.

This beggars the question of who is real artist. Is it the person who came up with the original concept? Or is it the person/people who actually did the work? Or some combination thereof?
Extend this question to filmworks - who is the artist there? The scriptwriter? Or the actor? Or both?
