Summary/Abstract: The focal point of this article is the relation between ‘interpretation’ and ‘evaluation’. Firstly, the relation between interpretation and evaluation is analysed in terms of interpretation (how the interpretation of a work of art defines the evaluation of a work of art), and then the relation is considered from the viewpoint of evaluation. Origin is differentiated as semantic and categorical interpretation, evaluation as determining/ascertaining value and evaluation as esteeming.
