Institutional theory of art
- Institutional theory of art
Institutional theory of art is a theory about the nature of art. The theory was first put forward by George Dickie in his book "Art and the Aesthetic: An Institutional Analysis" (1974). Dickie's first attempt to define a work of art reads: "an [original] artifact with a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution (the artworld) [ Dickie, George. "The Artworld" (p.464)] ."
Dickie stated and restated the theory in two books: "Art and the Aesthetic: An Institutional Analysis". Ithaca: NY: Cornell UP, 1974. "Art Circle: A Theory of Art." Chicago: Spectrum Press, 1997.
