What was stopping the original artists from producing copies of their work, or even copies of Lichtenstein's? That would have been the rebuttal I would have tried.
- _qua 4y agoWhat value do you think there is for a copy of a Lichtenstein which isn't from Lichtenstein?
- _Nat_ 4y agoWhy would any of these things be significantly valuable in the first place? Glancing at the artist's [article on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Lichtenstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Lichtenstein ), it looks like some folks really liked his work and would pay a lot of money for it..? But, why?
- nemo44x 4y agoYou’re exactly right. What these comic book artists and their defenders are missing is that the comic book art is worthless. And especially at the time it was made was considered bottom of the barrel low culture that no adult that expected to be taken seriously would entertain. But what Lichtenstein did was transform cultural detritus into something considered beautiful and culturally relevant. High art by the people who decide what that is.
