THE ART OF COPYING ART - PENELOPE JACKSON KARTO...

This book is a study of the history  role and significance of copying art. Copies have enjoyed
a different status from authentic artworks and though often acknowledged  very rarely have they
been considered collectively as a genre in their own right. This volume showcases a variety of
examples-from copies of famous artworks made and used as props in movies to those made
innocently by student artists as part of their training. Examining the motivations for making
copies  and reflecting on the reception of copies  is central to this book. Copies have
historically filled voids in collections  where some sadly languish  and have become a
curatorial burden. In other cases  having a copy assists in conservation projects and fills the
place of a lost work. Ultimately by interrogating a copy's role and intent we might ask
ourselves if viewing a copy changes our experience and perception of an artwork.
