How does the “I don’t like it, therefore it’s crap” differ from “I like it, therefore it’s amazing”. They are both opinions. You may think that the critical opinion is “rude”, but conversely, I may think the glowing opinion is ignorant or quaint. Critics have been panning art for millennia or has all criticism been fully cancelled now? This guy was surely obsessed and crazy, which I wholeheartedly respect. But it’s simply not that impressive for 50 years of work. Personally, I don’t think it’s crap or amazing, I just think it’s disappointing and I feel bad this guy wasted his time. Consider what Egyptians built in the desert at least 5 thousand of years earlier with much less tools. Now that is an art installation. Granted, they had an army of builders, but still, the access to better tools and concrete should still allow 1 guy to do something more epic than what he did here. Further, the much more recent coral castle I find to be more impressive and that was also 1 guy and it only took him 30 years.
