We have found that the difference between the original and the fake is important from an aesthetic appreciation, which does not mean that the original is necessarily better than the fake
An inspired copy may be more rewarding than an original painting; a damaged original may have lost most of its previous advantages; an image printed from a dilapidated etching board may be inferior to an earlier printed image than a good photographic copy in an aesthetic appreciation
The fundamental difference between the original and the fake is its superiority and uniqueness in aesthetic appreciation.
