PEREZ OTERO, Manuel. About the Concept of Perfect Artwork: A Definition and Its Implications. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2025, vol.57, n.169, pp.5-21.  Epub 25-Ago-2025. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2025.1645.

Two facts are formulated concerning our appreciations of artworks. I then propose a definition of perfect artworks, which is in line with these facts. I imagine a potential objection to the definition and I conjecture a necessary condition for something to be artistic, which allows the objection to be avoided. Finally, we note that this condition establishes certain limits to minimalism in art.

Palabras llave : artistic superiority/inferiority; possible world; artistic failure; modal flexibility; minimalist art.
