AB - This study is intended to elucidate the specific function of art in Niklas Luhmann’s theory of systems through the binary artistic codes of beauty and ugliness. According to Luhmann, art is a social system like others such as the legal, religious, economic, and academic systems. He urges that every system requires its own specific (binary) codes for its operation. His proposal of the artistic codes of beauty and ugliness seems anachronistic form the point of view of contemporary art, but he is obviously conscious of this situation as he proposes that beauty and ugliness function as codes under the art system independently of other systems.
