I think I'll sell an orange peel to some pretentious art snobs and call it "Orange: The Aftermath". 
Slap a nuclear/radioactive warning emblem on the orange and you have a winner.

Blame TV. It's the fault of the Simpsons. Homer started it when he sold his botched attempt at a BBQ grill for a few hundred thousand.

No. Its started earlier. Back in 1959 when a certain busboy , named Walter Paisley, vaulted to fame because of his...unique style ….of avant garde sculpture!

Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal with the title "Fontana" in 1917

Jackson Pollock's random splotches of paint on canvass is also art
US $140 Million for something I could have created myself if I tied a paintbrush to my dog's talk and let him walk over the canvass
Mark Rothko's yellow and blue sold for US$46million
He also produced one painting that was just one tone of red...nothing else....

I actually like Pollock. His paintings were light years ahead of taping a banana peel to the wall.
