I think it's bad art because it took no skill. It caters to the "art for art's sake" crowd that are impressed with themselves for being evolved enough to see "the beauty of simplicity".
If this is art, then the artist is the viewer, not the person that painted flat blue on a canvas.

Very well said, I'd have to agree with Peetster completely. The only art I can see in that, is that it provokes a discussion,
(including this discussion!!) about whether this is artistic or not.
In fact, that's a kind of art in itself!!! To make you ponder about the artistic quality of something... it's an art to create something that generates that kind of response. Maybe that's what some people see in it....
