They have nothing in them.

Well yes, they have a lot in them. They have historic importance, they portray a period of human thinking, they portray a part of the artist soul, and they have a different meaning for every buyer.
Just today I was talking with some friends how about 20 years ago my dad refused to buy me a painting by Gustave Klimt, because it would not acquire any value in the future, and it would be a bad investment for $7000; A few weeks ago that very same picture was sold for $135,000,000.00; if you think that they have nothing in them, perhaps you should ask anybody buying art, why do they buy it, and any artist why does he do it.

Yes they do - they are original, and that´s what you are paying for: the imagination of the author. If you like a particular piece or not that's a different story - I may hate what you love and vice-versa.

Pretentious snobbery in the art culture has a lot to do with the overrated, subjective creations.

Somtimes nothing can say a whole lot more than alot of something.

Which 'they' are you talking about?
Are you suggesting a Dali, a Picasso, a Hockney have no substance?

Just because you don't appreciate contemporary art, doesn't mean everyone else is the same.
