The paper aims to present the criterion of art, which is the act of accepting the status of a work of art by the artist after the completion of the creative process. The analysis includes a distinction concerning the interpretation of a work of art as conducted in a diversified and multi-directional manner from a possible discussion about the issue of whether a given object or process is a work of art. The article contains a thesis about the impossibility of depriving a work of art of this status. The discussion refers to the concept of the creative activity, the reception process, the concept of Artworld and the institutional definition of art, recognizing the latter as too far-interfering with the nature of art and containing suggestions on relational understanding of a work of art.
