By “Modern art” I mean artists like Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack and others from some decades ago, and whatever names are doing similar or worse stuff now; such as the painting of (supposedly) the Madonna with used tampons and elephant crap on it. Or the expensive public “sculptures” that are nothing but welded together pieces of metal that any half blind welder could put together.

I don’t mean just any art that happens to be created in the present. No doubt there is plenty of good art being created now, but it doesn’t get press because it’s not disgusting or offensives.

You’re selecting a narrow subset of modern art, just to try to show it lacks merit. There is lots of wonderful modern art that you’d have a harder time disparaging.
