Thanks, Robert. Luhmann's writing style takes some getting used to, though. With a bit more context, the quote goes like this: "And probably there are also specification limits such that artistic means specializing in attracting attention no longer simultaneously lead to acceptable solutions, while acceptable, communicatively convincing art sinks below the threshold of public attention. Whoever seeks beauty then needs the courage to be inconspicuous."
I must look up Luhmann. Excellent criteria by the way.
