The best way to avoid the inherent perversions of self expression induced by markets is to be unaware of who your audience is and what they desire.

"I wish the world to know her work. Something you could not know: how it was, here, for artists. Whole universes of blood and imagination, built over lifetimes in rooms like these, never to be seen. To die with their creators, and be swept out. Now...what she does, it joins the sea." She smiles. "It has brought you to us."
