Art and Value

"George Dickie's Art and Value is an elegant restatement of the virtues of the institutional theory of art and his conception of artistic evaluation. This lively and trenchant riposte to critics will ensure that his work remains much discussed and will prove to be an invaluable resource for students." Matthew Kieran, University of Leeds. <!--end-->

"Professor Dickie does an excellent job combining and articulating the insights accumulated during his long career in the philosophy of art. Of special significance is his discussion of how 'what is art' relates to 'what is good art?" George Bailey, East Carolina University.
