Why artists don't like conceptual contemporary art.

Why is blue-chip contemporary art unpopular with artists outside of the contemporary art community? The big name artists seem indifferent to whether legions of other artists like their work or not. Artists are not the target audience. Contemporary art is being made for the ultra rich buyer class: for their tastes, their station, and their beliefs. Much of this art is threadbare, and merely aspires to take candy away from billionaire babies. Nevertheless, the rest of us get this thing gruel crammed down our throats, as well as the traditions it is based on.

Are some of the most famous works of contemporary art brilliant achievements in art, or cynical attempts to get rich from gaming the system? Cattelan, Koons, Hirst, Creed, Manzoni, and more!
