Art and the Aesthetic: An Institutional Analysis (1974) is a book by George Dickie in which he put forward his institutional theory of art. 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 restated the theory in Art Circle: A Theory of Art. Chicago: Spectrum Press, 1997.
