Modern art is museum board friends accepting your inflated whoopee cushion as a charitable donation. You enjoy a massive tax deduction, and they in turn donating to your museum. Basement storage thereafter where nobody need look at it.
Modern Art was created by Amendment XVI to the United States Constitution, 1913, followed by the rich being dunned for World War I. They obtained relief by elevating EuroTrash daubings into remarkable tax-free income. Critics separate craft (undeserving!) from art.
