So, the only ART in photography is in the print? And here I thought the basics of photography were framing and content. I'll take a shitty print of a great photo over a great print of a shitty photo.Most of all, I've never heard of mass produced fine art and I doubt I'd buy it if it existed. The perception of photography as fine art is tenous enough already, especially outside of the US, without allowing the perception that you could and might print off thousands of the things...
Would you take down (and discard) your Moonrise, Hernandez if all the neighbors had one?But I wouldn't buy a bad print period.
What an interesting contrast with another art form, music!You have to market value. Quality, exclusivity, etc, etc. Otherwise all you have is stock photography for poster sales, value, practically nil.
