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.
