Back again to again make sure that you peons all know
Illustration is not actually art:

With a name like "Philip Kennicott," there's probably no
chance this guy would ever be able to see past the silver
spoons lodged in his trachea to the understanding that
there is no inherent division between high art and low
art other than the ultimate patronage/purchaser, but this
particular line struck me as to how blind he truly is to
the ivory-tower fallacy that's been constructed around
it: "this billion-dollar vanity project".
Please point me at any museum of note that is
NOT a billion-dollar vanity project. You can like or not
like any art according to whatever aesthetic or social
parameters you choose; it's the third most subjective
thing about being human, after food and sex. But to base
part of your argument on, essentially, "the taste of
wealthy people defines art, just not THIS wealthy person"
is highly revealing, to say the least.
