Comments on Copying Art, Part I
Philosophical questions: Why is the "original" important? Why is the "authorization of the artist" important? Does this mean that "art" is not the piece itself, but rather the social agreement around the piece? Is it therefore impossible to appreciate (or set a price for) a piece of art without knowing its social context?
Just saw the car tumble at the Guggenheim. Meh. I prefer his army of wolves.
Jen,
Congratulations on your well-crafted Newsweek article, and, I must say, I enjoyed reading about this topic...it's not one I've spent much time on beyond the notorious Warhol copies by Malanga, et al.
This is what I wish you would do more of versus those (often) insufferable Currently Hanging joints. I say this with love in my heart...
As for Mr. Poe, I am currently toiling in my basement workroom to copy him animatronicly...right now, I'm at an impasse as the computerized voice chip refuses to say anything more than "keshmeshi is a ****." Work continues...
While you're at it, make me a copy.
I won't be needing the voice-chip, tho.
I add my congratulations on your Newsweek article. Hadn't given the topic much thought so it was interesting to learn about it.
@5 -- Computer says, "no."
Make me one, too.
@8 -- I'm making you a mechanical Juif!
I don't need a mechanical Juif. I have the real one. You can keep that one for yourself. I need one of me because I want to experience what it's like to have the best sex in the world.
Oooh! There's going to be a service-pack upgrade?
@10 -- Hmmm...I'm speechless. All I can say is there is one lucky Juif out there :-)
I found your Newsweek article well-written and thought provoking. Good job!
was at the Tate last week- no point, just bragging. nanana.
