Is this art

I want you to check out this link. This link is to an artwork. The artwork consists of three huge blank canvases. My question to you is Is this art?
They say art is in the beholder. Everyone has an opinion and they are welcome to it because this is America and we have freedom of speech.
You are able to use some terms from my art appreciation class on this piece. One such term would be balance. This artwork is completely balanced because there is nothing there.
I just can't imagine that this is art. However this do evoke a reaction in people, which is what most artist try to do. So maybe that is what the true definition of art is. Something that causes you to feel something. Doesn't matter what it is as long as you feel something.
