I think the fact that this is a discussion illustrates how art is subjective. Subjective meaning that it is up to the interpreter. Where does narcissism come into play? Art is simply a word that has a different meaning, depending on who says it. As someone who creates art, I declare that what I've created is nothing if its audience rejects it. This is not narcissism.
Perhaps the view that "anything I declare as art is thus art" is the more narcissistic of the two. Art being a very high concept and snooty thing at times.
