The Fluxus Artist

I loved this bit from the book FLUXUS by Thomas Kellein:
After all, the Fluxus artist, in so far as one can compare the central figure of George Maciunas with Joseph Beuys or the mature Nam June Paik, was, to put it bluntly, an alarming social failure. In the turbulent change of the 60s, he tended to be overlooked. In the 70s, he failed to have any links with the more thought-provoking and process art. Before the art boom of the 80s had taken hold, he had died. But then again, there was in any case no volume of early drawings and objects which coul have been marketed profitably.
Um... maybe that was the point Tom.
