The author suggests that the most common theme in contemporary art is a kind of "anti-art." By this, the author means that artists are increasingly rejecting the traditional conventions of art, such as beauty, skill, and even the concept of an artwork as a finished product. The author supports this claim by pointing to the growing popularity of performance art, installation art, and conceptual art, all of which challenge the traditional boundaries of art.
