Summary/Abstract: The author examines the possibility of interpretation of Heidegger's notions of the world and the earth as categories for the reception of works of art. Contrary to the impression we might get at first glance that Heidegger's understanding of art is a Werkästhetik project, the paper argues that in Heidegger's focus is an experience of the work of art, and only in the secondary sense, it can also be the essence of the work itself. This thesis is supported by the interpretation of Heidegger's notions of the world and the earth as concepts that grow on the ground of the experience of the work of art, which indicates that these concepts in the primary sense mark that experience. This approach to the concepts of the world and the earth, as we conclude in the conclusion of the paper, enables these concepts to be applied to the experience of contemporary artistic practices, which would not have been possible if these concepts were formed exclusively as categories for the work of art.
