 Two California teenagers who recently visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art were less than impressed by some of the exhibits and wondered if they could do better. And thus a scheme was hatched: They placed a pair of eyeglasses on the floor, stood back and watched as, within minutes, visitors regarded their prank as a work of art, with some even taking photos of the fake installation. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/31/arts/sfmoma-glasses-prank.html?_r=0

At this point in the thread I think it would be helpful if we consider Sturgeon's Law, which states that 90% of everything is crap. In other times and in other eras there has been a lot of crap in the art scene. We don't know about it now because since it was crap, it didn't make the cut of things deemed historically or artistically relevant.
So when folks start to heap abuse on "modern art" it's probably justified in a larger sense, but really it's no different than art in any time. We look back at the collected 10% of other eras and forget that 90% because it was forgetable.

A couple of years ago I bought tickets to an "Evening With Art." Very, very articulate fellow. He read stories he had written, poems and sang a few songs.
What remains of Art? Well, his voice still sounds pretty good for someone suffering from vocal cord paresis, and he has trouble with the high notes. Still sounded pretty good on the Jimmy Webb classic, All I Know, but could not sing the entire Bridge Over Troubled Waters. The venue was a small intimate theatre that sat less than 250. He even had a Q&A session and I got to ask him a question. Very cool.

 i did quick search on sturgeon's law, and there is a law firm called sturgeon law.  http://sturgeonlaw.com/home.html amazingly enough, they don't have a motto/slogan. off the top of my head, they could at least go with, "we cut through the legal crap".
