The Artworld

The Artworld is a term that refers to the entire system and community involved in creating, exhibiting, and interpreting art. It includes artists, galleries, museums, critics, collectors, and institutions that shape how art is understood and valued. Think of it as the social and cultural network that surrounds artwork, influencing what is considered meaningful or valuable in art. The concept emphasizes that art isn't just about the object itself but also about its context, the dialogue it inspires, and how it's received within this interconnected community.
