Abstract (2. Language):
This paper is a critique of the conception of art which is mainly based on Arthur
Danto’s definition of art via Hegelian aesthetics. In 1964, when Danto
encountered with Andy Warhol’s Brillo Box a renewed era for the definition of
art has come. For Hegel one of the most crucial criteria for artwork is its
indispensible adequacy between content and presentation. Although Danto as a
philosopher is so much Hegelian by the time of modern art there emerges a
historical shift within art and this article tries to reveal how Danto departs from
Hegel through the philosophical question of what makes any work an art-work.
When there renders no ‘bodily’ distinction between content and presentation,
there emerges an essential question: According to what one of the Brillo boxes
inside a grocery store is just an ordinary box while the other one is such a precious
artwork in Soho Gallery.
