What happens when someone prints a replica of a Picasso?
Nothing.
- capiki 6y agoSo then the original Picasso is known to be original because it was signed by its creator, whose key is known? How is that key verified initially?
- throwaway744678 6y agoWell, the initial owner buys (or receives as a gift) the painting directly from Picasso. That's an easy one! It gets more complicated later: experts assess the credibility of the painting by examining the ownership history, if available, the signature on the painting, the quality of the work, chemical properties of the pigments and canvas, etc. They sometimes get it wrong, though (cf. Beltracchi!). It's more a probability that a work is genuine, rather than a 100% certainty.
- ffggvv 6y agoan original picasso is a historic artifact with the same paint that the artist himself used and his brush marks etc. a copy isn’t. an nft is just bytes. a copy is exactly the same as the original. it’s impossible to get an exact copy of a picasso because he himself only ever painted one. you can carbon date it etc
