I appreciate all art. I may not like it, but that's not the point. If it makes me think, if it causes discussion, if it creates an emotional reaction for me or others, it's probably good art.
I think many people come to art from a consumer culture point of view. "I wouldn't buy that or hang it in my living room" doesn't make something art. It makes it a consumable good, but art is not necessarily consumable.
I agree with AH about conceptual art. I ADORE conceptual pieces in their conceptual form often more often than I enjoy them in their fully realized form.
