CULTURE SHOCK THERAPY

A gallery once labeled a blank canvas “Deep Silence.” And half the room immediately got emotional.

✗ FAKE
Blank or near-blank canvases do have real art history, such as Robert Rauschenberg's White Paintings from 1951. This particular gallery story is invented, not a documented event.
