Why would they care if you made an exact copy of Michaelangelo's David? I imagine that if I had the actual Declaration of Independence on display, I'd be flocked with visitors, but if I had an exact copy, indistinguishable to the human eye, no one would bother to look at it.
Maybe that's their reasoning, but if so it seems a bit overblown.
- NickPollard 12y agoUntil you claim that your (indistinguishable) copy is the real thing, at which point theirs is ruined.
- Animats 12y agoWhat "original" means in the art world is amusing. It's all about monetization.[1] Cranking out a copy of Michaelangelo's David as a bronze would be a nice project. Hypermill/Daishin should take that on. Each year they do some insanely elaborate piece of art in metal as a CNC machining demo.[2] [1] http://www.artnews.com/2013/06/05/the-degas-debate/ http://www.artnews.com/2013/06/05/the-degas-debate/ [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnIvhlKT7SY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnIvhlKT7SY
