English term or phrase:committee-made fluff masquerades
In realta' avrei bisogno di aiuto per tutta la frase perche' mi sembra ci sia qualcosa che non vada (soprattutto his alla fine):
X has worked without mainstream support for his entire career. In an age when committee-made fluff masquerades as meaningful art his is a rare, authentic, and important voice.
Explanation: In un'epoca in cui la banalita' dei comitati prende le vesti/le sembianze/si camuffa da arte eloquente, la sua e' una voce rara, autenitica ed importante.
spiegazione del cliente:
the “fluff” here is referring to something of a low standard/made for the masses/something that will sell, as opposed to Gallo’s work which is original or challenging, so to speak. “committee-made” means that a group of people have got together to decide what this ‘art’ should be, or at least what they think it should be, rather than letting the artist decide for him/herself.
dovresti leggerla così (credo)
In an age when committee-made fluff masquerades (verb) as meaningful art(,) his is a rare, authentic, and important voice.

Reference information: In an age when committee-made fluff masquerades (è verbo) as meaningful art, (viiirgola) *his* (sottinteso: voice, che arriva in fondo frase) is a rare, authentic, and important voice.
cioè:
in un'epoca in cui la fuffa pompata/promossa dai comitati (la butto lì tanto per rendere l'idea, poi l'aggiusti bene tu) si traveste da arte piena di significato/con la maiuscola/o quel-che-ti-pare, la sua è una voce rara, autentica, importante, blablabla
