TL;DR: Story goes some guy hauls away some wood from an unmarked pile of wood. Turns out its an art sculpture called "Deadwood Sleep". Artist was paid $5000 dollars to build said sculpture.
Is this art?: I personally don't think so. I can pile wood together too. I see piles of wood in front of some homes occasionally but is it art? I guess its not art unless you call yourself an artist and start piling things together calling it art.
I know what I'll do!
1. Call self artist
2. Spit on canvas
3. Call it art
4. Profit
