In the Oxford dictionary, art is defined as, “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.”

Yes chess is art.

A picture of a potato sold for more than $1 Million.

A picture of a banana taped to a wall sold for over $8 Million.

Agreed. But all it takes is one person to think its art.

Pro sports is the same way. It only takes one person to think a player is worth $500,000,000.
