The stuff at IKEA is definitely not art. Art is much more than that.
There's a good short paper by the philosopher Walter Benjamin titled The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Like Hans Gadamer argued years earlier about real writers and literature suffering as a result of cheap mass printing, Benjamin shows that art (visual, musical, cinematics, sculpture) has suffered thanks to mechanical reproduction: https://www.marxists.org/reference/subje...njamin.htm
At the same time easy access to technology and the internet has democratised the creation and spread of art in our recent contemporary times (anyone can easily learn, create and share art), it's still very much ruled by the art market and capitalism...but that's another topic. ;*)
