Klappentext zu „The Art of Copying Art “
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.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Art of Copying Art “

Pressezitat
"This is a hard book to put down. She makes a strong case for the better appreciation of copies. She points out that copies tell their own stories, and add to our appreciation of copies. She points out that copies tell their own stories, and add to our appreciation of the rich complexity and knowledge of art. Her style of writing is appealing to non-art aficionados." (Rod Thomas, ARCA, art-crime.blogspot.com, February 21, 2023)"This is a surprisingly diverting read with opportunities on nearly every page for the reader to look up and say 'Did you know that . . . ?' to their partner. Anyone remotely interested in the subject would be well advised to get themselves a copy." (North & South Magazine, February, 2023)"Penelope Jackson's latest book, The Art of Copying Art, takes her audience into an arena of art practice ... . With originality and rich scholarship, Jackson illuminates this world of copying revealing its complex readings, relationships and meanings in a way which is both intriguing and thought-provoking. The Art of Copying Art is a most worthwhile addition to any art historical library." (Pamela James, Journal of Art Crime, 2022)
