I think how much hatred and revulsion I feel looking at this is the brilliance here.

Unfortunately, people seem to think that just because something elicits a reaction of “this is not art” that that qualifies as eliciting the required reaction that makes it “art”. Still being irritated over the subjective claim that a framed letter is art, IMO, doesn’t validate that the claim that the letter is art. The artist or viewers can call it what they wish.
