hbCTIO THE HERALD January issg Halton Hills Arts Council John sommeh Herald Special Twenty years ago the reproduction prestige One could pick up a reproduction by famous or popular painters at places like Coles in Toronto for a few dollars which was in the case of every other produced Item its true cost in factoring and marketing with a profit of course for everybody involved as part of its price In this situation a few entrepreneurs had the brilliant idea that out of the combination of public ignorance about matters artistic better reproduction methods and the collaboration of artists a product could be fashioned that would appeal during a period of economic expansion and affluence to the upwardly mobile The result was the limited reproducti on Instead of running the printing presses for as long as the market would bear an artificial scarcity was created by stopping the press at say copy Now this is a huge edition by any A dress mass produced that often could not by any stretch of the imagination be called an origin In order to sell that many reproductions from one painting for large sums of money one had to give to the reproduction what it never had before respectability To give the reproduction respecta bility the collaboration of the artist was needed beyond the mere granting for a fee of the right to copy that is to reproduce The limited reproduction appeared n the market with a number and the i gnat we of the artist like any fine rlginal handprinted etching lltho- roph or so graph of yore With this one step what was merely product before moved towards Art gain and with the handwritten signature of the artist affixed to It the reproduction in the eyes of the untrained buyer became art The old unlimited reproduction had been a reminder of a work of art As such it was a democratic thing The student the young couple starting out the person with a low income could have a cheap reproduction of a favorite painting on their wall by Cezanne and Picasso as well as by Norman flock well The limited reproduction wants to be something different It wants to be the work of art and by succeeding In that it has re tar ted the public appreciation of art Because the buyer of a limited reproduction has the means to buy original art he assumes that by buying a limited reproduction for large sums of money he is as a matter or fact getting an original work of art The original art available In the same price range Is shunted aside by the buyer of limited reproductions or limited edition prints as they are labeled by their dealers because the limited reproduction is marketed in such a way that the buyer has the impression that he Is buying something elitist Tine and special when In reality only the high price of the limited reproduction takes it out of the reach of the many Will the buyer or reproductions eventually develop an appreciation of the real values of art and by doing abandon the limited reproduction original art This is an
