I think there's always been a sort of feeling that "true art" (yeah, yeah, don't even say it) has to be a product of, among other things, some talent of expression that can't be, or at least isn't, shared by the mob. It's the old "can you paint Binky" thing - everyone can do it, but few can make it grab. Christos' work always strikes me as something inspired by an Ikea catalog, that could be done exactly as he has done it, by anyone. Maybe it's the concept itself that no one else could come up with - maybe that's his "art" - but I look at it, and it never makes me wish I could have his talent. RT's friend, on the other hand, creates something that does inspire that feeling.
