       I think the general conclusion is that, subjectively, anything is art that one points at and calls "art". Objectively, that is, in concensus reality there are two roads to "great art". One is wide-spread approval of the masses --pop art.  The other is via approval of the "art world" or "art establishment" (critics, scholars, curators, gallery owners, serious collectors, other artists); people that have an *informed* opinion due to experience, practice, and / or study --serious art.

       When the two things happen at the same time then it's "great art".But, that's just my opinion. Here's a link to an apropos article. People have been arguing about this one for at least the last one hundred years. Ever since Duchamp and his urinal, I reckon.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics
