Abstract
This paper has the purpose to review from a critical perspective the central concepts of Arthur Danto’s theory to elucidate the possibility of referring to the notion of ‘artwork’ based on the concept of meaning —in the context of the post-analytic philosophy of art. The common idea that ‘everything can be art today’ deserve analyzing what do we require to approach to a work of art and what properties constitute it as such, some issues discussed by Danto along with his concepts of perception, interpretation and meaning. But these concepts in Danto find limits that merit a discussion as well as involve consequences beyond his philosophical project of proposing a definition of art.
