See, that's exactly WHY I don't even bother to read his works. It would be like reading (if Hitler were still alive) Mein Kampf - doing so puts money into the wrong pocket. I don't care how "Art"-ridden or "important" his works, I refuse to support an 'artist' who is intolerant of others. But then, that's the beauty of the marketplace. I, as a potential customer, can weigh a wide range of factors and can choose to support the manufacturers or artists who I believe deserve support and deny my money from those who don't.
And, no, I do not believe you can separate the intolerance from the "Art".
