Collector glossary
Reproduction
A copy of an existing artwork made to reproduce its image rather than functioning as the original work itself.
Why it matters
Posters, facsimiles, and commercial image products are common examples.
Common misunderstanding
High production quality does not convert a reproduction into the original artwork.
