Hm. If you think of the sort of things that end up in art galleries, though... I remember a Patricia Piccinini exhibition I saw last year sometime (I'm not a regular gallery-goer, but she stands out because of the massive variety of her work).
It contained at least the following: 2d pencil drawings, 2d photo "manips" (regular pictures with things added), kaleidoscope-ish "paintings" done in something like fibreglass or resin, video, and 3d sculptures. The latter category included (alarmingly lifelike) people and her created species, furniture, "truck babies", and oddly cute little motorbikey vehicles, a bit like puppies or baby seals.
I wonder, are the categories for fan-art more restrictive? I think, personally, for something like a photo-manip I'd want significant deviation or re-interpretation, because they *are* using someone else's work.
Unless this is just a kind of semantic issue, and "fan-art" is a category term for static images, "fan-fic" anything with words (ooh, where would comics fall? Illustrated drabbles? Poetry?), with another category for, like, animated art/moving image.
Aaaand I appear to be rambling somewhat hopelessly. It's just an interesting topic :).
