In France we have a legal definition of what constitutes an original work of art. For instance you can produce up to 8 original copies of a sculpture, that's art. Wanna sell 9 copies, you're no longer an artist but an artisan. That also applies to furniture, I couldn't track down what the actual law says, there are many exemptions and edge cases but basically that's the idea.
Here, this album fits the criteria for being numbered 1/1.
- Grue3 10y agoSo, music or film aren't considered art in France?
- erelde 10y agoThat must be in the caveats, music, films, writing, code, all that is "conceptual" in nature...
- blaze33 10y agoWell, the actual disk you buy in the store, no, that's mass production. Nonetheless music, movies, books are still covered by intellectual property laws and considered as intellectual works, but yeah that's not legally art. The laws I was referencing in my first comment are more concerned about what is sold in an art gallery. A limited edition album would have its place there (even if it's a terrible one), not an album from Prince that sold millions of copies even if the later is socially recognised as a piece of art.
