Last week, Complex News went down to Miami Beach during Art Basel to check out some of the best art in the world and chop it up with people to see what they thought about the exhibits. We also asked them what they thought of a new, emerging contemporary artist who goes by the name of "Mango Sashimi." Here's the thing: We totally made up the influential Sashimi, but a handful of artsy types pretended like they had heard of him, and even went as far as to say they've bought some of Sashimi's works.

Check out the video above for all of their hilarious answers.
