Okay, I'll bite.

The older I get the more the question "Is it Art?" seems completely futile and tiresome to me. Debating it has taken too much of my life already--time I should have used painting.

I don't know that I'd call Christo's installation "Art," but I also thought that through the late winter trees from some vantage points, it looked kinda pretty.

Also given that it was a temporary installation, and none of the money that funded it came out of your pocket or mine, it's sort of a victimless crime, don't you think?

Artist or not, I'd rather drink a beer with Christo than a dentist or a tax attorney most any day of the week.

Peace--TE
