I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but there is the whole concept of Shabby Chic, or an appreciation of kitsch - usually those have a bit of tongue in cheek irony in their celebration, or an exploration of a specific sub-genre - e.g. pulp novel covers.

As for unintentional art there is certainly "found art" but these are usually non-art objects intended to be viewed as art, and there is art in nature, an appreciation of the aesthetics of a landscape, which unless you believe in God as creator, would be unintentional.
