It's unfortunate that you're downvoted, because I can relate. I knew nothing of the contemporary art world until I found myself working at an art marketplace and media startup. For a few years, I was immersed in it. When I left, I wrote in my farewell note that I felt like I gained a whole new layer of perception of my surroundings. I connected with art installations. I sought out galleries and museums when traveling. This is how I became acquainted with Richard Serra's work. His pieces are so monumental and immersive that when you encounter his work elsewhere, you immediately know it, whether or not you remember his name. So I don't blame you for not feeling a connection. But you might find it worthwhile to invest in learning about the art world. If you're interested, IMO, the single best thing you can do is go on the little scheduled guided tours at museums. The docents (volunteer guides) are great at making the art relatable.
