Art: A visual work of imagination that transports you, moves you emotionally, makes you think.

Does Chihuly’s work do this?

Yes.

I’ve seen “art” in national museums consisted of a canvas with a hole in it. Is that art? For some I guess.

Bottom line: art is totally subjective.

[...] what Chihuly is doing there? Is he the artist representing the U.S.? What is John Buchanan smoking? (that is, when he said Chihuly is “the world’s greatest living artist?”) I thought Chihuly [...]

I’m just wondering why we are even having this conversation. Have we forgotten what art is? Look around at art, any kind. What exactly are the guidelines, the rules, and who decides them. If art is what I was brought up to believe it is then Chihuly is indeed an artist. The best in the world? I would’nt go as far to say that. He certainly would be in the top percentile. If you have any doubt of that the fact we are having this conversation and the price his work brings if for no other reason would prove his talents.
I wish I were such a poor artist or good interior decorator that people would talk about my work on line. As Mr. Simpson said “sour grapes”

Thank you for your comment Bob, you raise a very good point: the art elite seems to have forgotten the old adage, “art is in the eyes of the beholder.” Also, wonderful insight about your visit to his studio and factory in Tacoma.
