Is "being art" an intrinsic property of an item, or an extrinsic attribute,
defined by the context in which it appears (like a commoditiy, which
becomes a commodity only through the possibility of exchange).
I would think that art, whether good or bad, known or unknown, is defined
by the intentions of the maker (and therefore intrinsic to an item).
