No, but I also don’t know the context of the rip in the canvas. What is the artist attempting to show with this statement? What aspects of the human condition are they trying to represent? A ripped canvas is nothing to me, without knowing the story behind the artwork.

Yet this too is art.
Indeed, it is art that represents the relationship of the canvas to the surrounding space.
Lucio Fontana and his conceptual works are art.
