摘要：The modern Western tradition tends to equate art and aestheticvalue. But such a conception is too narrow: aesthetic value does not havethe monopoly of the many values involved in the creation, circulation andreception of art works. An interdisciplinary workshop on values, held inParis in 2012, gathered philosophers, art historians, musicologists, sociologists,anthropologists, economists, jurists, and ended up in a collectivebook published in 2014. It allowed to display the repertoire of the mostrelevant values related to artistic experience, be they assigned to art works,artists or art lovers: besides beauty, we identified authenticity, autonomy,celebrity, expensiveness, morality, originality, pleasure, rarity, responsibility,significativity, spirituality, sustainability, truth, universality, virtuosity,and work. What is at stake here is not to demonstrate that such or such avalue is or is not present in art works, artists or art lovers, but to observethe way various axiological expectancies are projected on the art world, accordingto artistic domains, cultural and historical contexts, as well as thesocial position of those who defend those values. A final focus on the valueof celebrity provides a more detailed illustration of our proceedings: themeaning and relevance of the value of celebrity changes not only accordingto its ascription to artists (such as “stars”) or to art works (such as famousmasterpieces), but also according to the concerned artistic domains, fromvisual arts and literature to cinema.
