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

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.

Yes. Artist have problem with fundings.
But we like to see art.
Art is one of the Foundation pillar in a society.
Like freedom of speech.
