As far as the situations, it can but it doesn't need to be as complicated or specific as this:

"where a specific piece of art is made to attack, address, or discuss something while being transgressive in other dimensions as well, and later works follow the style or other properties, but do so without presenting the message anymore - they copy the "freaky" style, but not whatever was behind it."

...made to attack, address or discuss something are a few thing that leads to TV Trope definition of what is True Art. This doesn't mean there aren't other ways to transgress other dimensions. Most of this issue is pretty much issues specific to True Art. True Art is....as the naming convention implies, simply extends from that. This part should be taken for granted. You'd have to expect someone to be able to understand the True Art section before they tackle any trope that starts with True Art is...

"Without presenting the message anymore" can count but like the Bill Maher joke above, it doesn't have to totally disappear or be censored. In fact the message is often presented. That's often the stage that allows the original True Art to be comprehended and thus become predictable. It just so happens that Follow the Leader type of direction is also allowed but again it's very rare for an actual example to be censored and yet be comprehended. Without this mid-stage to one half of the final stage comprehension, the product can be freaky but not predictably freaky.
