Personally, I never really enjoyed Art Deco. I don't follow performance art much, but I thought that piece where the guy (I don't recall his name) sat in the glass case tearing pages from books was quite pointless. And many years back one of my instructors showed us a video of a "60-Minutes" broadcast about the current state of art (at that time). One wealthy woman, if I remember correctly, bought both a 6'x7' blank white gessoed canvas, and a dish of candies for some ungodly amount of money. The idea behind the canvas was you could run your hand over it and feel a slight texture, making it art. The candy dish had the candy stacked in a specific pile. She explained that you could take and eat a piece of candy, and as long as you replaced it in the same spot from a bowl of extra candies kept in the stand you didn't violate the integrity of the sculpture. To this woman, that was art. to me, it's taking advantage of the elderly.
