The real debate in the arts is, are there criteria for art that could be persuasive in a democratic society to induce a society to support it? Is there some objective way of saying 'Well, a Beethoven symphony, a Wagner opera, a Debussy nocturne - those are superior to something else - that certain buildings, certain painters, certain sculptures are understood as critically superior to things that are of the same type, but not as good? Is there a hierarchy of goodness? Is there some true value to our judgments about art? Is it reasonable to say 'That just isn’t art' or 'that's bad art?'"
