When they stop speaking up to assert them?
That's another mystery to me--this lugubrious concern for artists' feelings when the artists themselves don't speak up* ("...so, brian does seem to have a point that this could make noland retreat even further into the black hole..." cries "Lauren").
Altruism so profound that the perceived offenders of the artists must be smeared and destroyed.
In bloggerspeak that's called being a "concern troll."
*Or in Bas Jan Ader's case, can't speak up because he is presumed no longer among the living (I just learned from Wikipedia he was lost at sea in '75. You'll have to fill me in on the Painter scandal--it wasn't like the Noland show, though, done by a non-profit--it's always different when money's involved, because then moral rights translate into stipends for artists and heirs)
