Autonomy of art
The autonomy of art is the philosophical thesis that art possesses intrinsic value and should be judged by aesthetic criteria alone, independent of moral, political, religious, or social purposes.
Institutional context of art
The institutional context of art is the network of museums, galleries, auction houses, critics, curators, and academic programmes that collectively determine what is exhibited, valued, preserved, and recognised as art within a given society.
