The reference to historical as well as contemporary sources of western art and culture is to be found in other works by the artist as well. In Tips for artists who want to sell (after Baldessari) (2012) for example he expands John Baldessari's list with criteria how an artwork should be composed to be sold for the best price. Altındere in this way also reflects his own role as an artist in the art market system.
