Art VS Non-Art
A good way of telling if something is “art” or “non-art” is to look to see if it is in a frame. Most art comes in a frame, like paintings or photography. Usually, if something is in a frame, it is art.
This, however, is not a firm rule to be followed, for two reasons. First, some art can’t fit into a frame, so it has to stand alone, like sculpture. Second, these men here are in a frame, however they are clearly just doing the insignificant and non-arty job of refinishing the floor of the gallery. Remember that most framed things are art, but there are always exceptions to the rule, which is why deciding what is art and what isn’t can be so difficult sometimes.
