This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher of art, George Dickie's article "What Is Art? An Institutional Analysis".

Specifically it examines the distinction he makes between three senses of "work of art: the primary or classificatory, the secondary or derivative, and the evaluative.
