Art As an Institution

Author: Albrecht, Milton C.

Publication Year: 1967

Media Type: Periodical (article)

Summary:

The author examines art as an institution. He looks at the place of art in the social structure, the structure of art as a social institution, the question of art and the provision of basic needs, and the question of universality of art. Art, it becomes clear, is a mixed type of organization - not entirely similar to or different from other social institutions.
