I am guessing that the phrase "Bauhaus or the outhouse" was
originally a play on the saying "My way or the highway."

The phrase is "From the Bauhaus TO the outhouse." The preposition
changes the meaning dramatically.
If you want to do a riff on Either/Or, fine, but it has niente to do
with the point I was making that various journalistic sources have
reflected on the journey and evolution of modernism, high and pop
art, using a phrase somewhat similar to your construction, but as we
now know more nuanced than your unilateral statement of an
unequivocal viewpoint.
