All combined it is art. The rock in it's natural setting would be a rock. But once you spend millions of dollars moving it and creating it's placement structure, it becomes a rock, I mean a work of art.

The art is raising the money.

Art is one of the Foundation pillar in a society.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. I actually like the rock. A plus was that no taxpayer money was used.

Indeed.
Magrittes painting is good but LA rock is real.
I Think Magritte from Belgium would have liked this very much.

There is a somewhat resemblance. Maybe life imitates art in this instance?
