Most of the commercial value of art is in its scarcity, regardless of its reproducibility. Even without Star Trek replicators, I've seen replica paintings made in Russia and China which I could not distinguish from the original if both were placed side by side in front of me. However, even the best replicas only go for tens of thousands of dollars, while the originals can fetch hundreds of millions.
