I am not saying there is no art - but the opposite - as it is subjective, it is open to the viewer to decide what is art and what isn't. Everything/anything then is potentially art.
There are two values. Cost - ie how much does something take to make,
and then the value someone is willing to pay for what is made.If someone is willing to pay anything for an unmade bed or a pile of bricks or... then that is up to them - it's their money. The emperor's new clothes eh (well, to my taste anyway)?
@Obelixx that is not graffiti, at least not in the way the term is generally used in the UK. Those will almost certainly be commissioned artworks, as would the painting of the telecomms boxes in Finland.
If itâs done for free itâs not valued by most folk and regarded as graffiti/vandalismÂ
butâŠ
If itâs commissioned by a committee and paid for out of public funds itâs a mural.Â
@Dovefromabove thank you for confirming my point. The former is generally done without permission of the property owner. The latter is requested and paid for.
Whether either has any artistic merit is another argument completely.
I opened a pack of my prescription tablets and discovered two tablets had been cut from the strip. There was nothing either on the packaging or the bag the prescription was in to indicate this had happened or why.
I went into the pharmacy today to find out how and why this had happened. I said from the outset I didn't need the missing tablets but wanted answers to 'how and why'. The pharmacist simply repeatedly asked if I wanted the tablets! When I said my concern was that if it has happened once it could have happened before I just got a blank look. I got no meaningful answers to why it happened, why there was nothing on the pack to indicate tablets had been removed or why the pack had been returned to the general stock.
I always get cut strips and odd 2âs. Â The prescription is for 56 and the strips are 10 each so they cut the odd ones off, Â sometimes I get several 2âs where theyâve been cut off from others.Â

I don't understand your reference to the emperor's new clothes. What does this have to do with whether or not you like a piece of art?
Clothes are art aren't they (https://www.artworks.com.sg/news/is-fashion-art/)? They have fashion shows to show them. The emperor bought his clothes because he was told they were great (much like some other art buyers - they buy not because they like the object, but because they're told it is good or has value). His view of his 'art' was fine as long as his 'delusion' wasn't broken by people pointing out he'd bought a pup (or a an imaginary pup).
If the intention to produce a piece of art is present, it's art - even if it's bad art. A two year old's finger painting is art but if the cat steps in a paint pot and walks across a piece of paper, it isn't art unless the owner dips its paw in and shoos it across the paper.
