There's been a tendency in the art world in the last 50 years or so to defend every work and dismiss any criticism as someone not knowing what they are talking about or being a philistine. Yet it is also widely accepted that the entire field of visual arts has been in a malaise for quite some time.
There are failures in every walk of life, yet no one in the art world can accept that a work of art can be a failure. I think this mentality is partly responsible for the general decline in the public perception of modern art.
I've seen enough, I don't need to see anymore to tell you it's bad.
