Art and Reproduction

Hey guys.

I've been reading up on art and its constant reproduction. I even found sites where you can purchase copies of some of the most world famous pieces of art for a pretty low cost. I personally think most people reproduce famous pieces of art for the purpose of making money. Think about it, where does the money go once you purchase a reproduced product? Can any of you think of why people reproduce art? Is it solely for people to gain equal access? I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss. Would you go see the real painting?

These are all great questions to think of when trying to understand reproduction!

PS -Try looking up some of your favourite pieces of art and you will notice the majority of them have been reproduced.
