Read one time (probably on this site, as a matter of fact) about a janitor who came across a tray with a bunch of fast food garbage on it, and tossed it all out, only to find out later he had disposed of a (supposed) work of art. Even Tom Wolfe (”The Painted Word”) couldn’t come up with an episode that rich.

Art Basel Miami Beach is featured prominently in the novel’s plot and various characters connected to it.
