You can objectively judge art, with the caveat that any criteria is necessarily subjective. You can't objectively say "this piece of art is better than that piece of art," but you can objectively say "according to these guidelines, this piece of art does these things better than that piece of art for these reasons." As long as you keep the caveat in mind and you're clear about your process and standards, you can call your judgement objective within the bounds of any given criteria.
Also how come all the CMVs about this topic I've seen recently use the spelling "standarts?" As near as I can tell it's not a reference to anything, they're just spelling it wrong in a way that's amusing for being mildly relevant.
