Well, it all depends on what you think art is.

AND...the idea of a lot of abstract artists was that it was not the art but the PROCESS of creating art that they were exploring.

AND

Following this train of thought - a toddlers work would HAVE to be the work of genius....as a toddler would have NO OTHER MOTIVE in the process of creating art than expressing pure joy in the act.

And that. Is what makes. Abstract Art. Great.

If you consider it art.
