It occurred to me that one of the key factors that separates what is art from what is not, is the power of suggestion. Looking around you, you can see all sorts of everyday objects, mostly mundane, that don't seem to have anything special about them.
But take, for example, that urinal mentioned a few posts back- Duchamp's "Fountain". It is presented as art, and therefore people begin to see it as such. While there is much controversy over the topic, the idea is still there in the minds of the people who have seen it.
