ART

Busy Houston homeowners are helping to redefine the eternal question: “What is art?” Beer cans and porcine paraphernalia are among the fripperies being affixed to Texas homes--and being praised in some quarters as a bold new form of environmental art. John Milkovisch covered his home with some 50,000 lovingly flattened aluminum beer cans, creating a multicolored patchwork quilt effect. Victoria Herberta lives in a purple house garlanded with pink silk flowers and pig-themed stuff, including a North Carolina license plate that reads “WOO-PIG.”
