Session Overview
Why is the painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh considered art, but an exact replica not? Why is no one surprised that a simple nylon thread or a urinal are exhibited and lauded at an art gallery and sometimes sold for hundreds of thousands or Euros? Is graffiti vandalism or art? Krzysztof Dobrowolski explains what the criteria are to call something “art”. In this interactive lecture, you can figure out whether art is only made by artists, what the role of marketing is and whether beauty can be objectively classified.
