Isn't that how the art establishment decides what is art? Or more to the point ---the formula is that it doesn't look like art and because a artist made it, its art--- not just art but great art, because its not art so now its a "break through" since these Art Experts know that the audience/collectors couldn't tell the difference between good or bad. They only see well made or "condition" as they say in the antiques and collectables market .BUT and this a big BUTT[ha ha] If you go on the premise that its art because an artist said so you have to accept that an artist may say its not art. So what if 2 artists say its art and 3 say its not. Does that mean its not art? This is a academic question that one could go around and around about. This question was born academic just like all conceptual art
