Then there's this blank A4 piece of paper as art:

"Tom Friedman’s 1,000 Hours of Staring (1992-1997). . . He claims to have stared at a mass-produced, regular piece of 8.5”x11” white paper for one thousand hours over a five-year period, investing it—without even touching it, let alone handcrafting anything— with what he terms a “stare on paper.” Art reviewers were initially convinced the piece was a lie, since Friedman provided no proof that he had actually done what he said. In 2008, it was acquired by the drawings department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York."

The same guy also has a sculpture which is just a black plastic garbage bag filled with air and mounted on a white block!
