Germany looked like it was winning the war in the spring of 1918. But its offensive was unsustainable, and the Allies held their nerve and won.

Respectfully, you assume that the 'producer' of the art makes all the gains and that the 'consumer' gains very little. Is it not possible that unlike capitalist goods, with art, both producer and consumer can mutually gain?
